How hollow and futile life can be when it's founded on a false belief in continuity and permanence. ››The secret is not to 'think' about thoughts, but to allow them to flow through the mind, while keeping your mind free of afterthoughts. ››As long as you cultivate stillness, you may enjoy peace, but whenever your mind is a little bit disturbed, deluded thoughts will set in again. ››Whatever you find yourself thinking, let that thought rise and settle, without any constraint. Don’t grasp at it, feed it, or indulge it; don’t cling to it and don’t try to solidify it. Neither follow thoughts nor invite them; be like the ocean looking at its own waves, or the sky gazing down on the clouds that pass through it. ››
