Silence is not an absence but a presence.

Anne D. LeClaire

The only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That's all there ever is.

It is not wise to rush about. If too much energy is used, exhaustion follows. This is not the way of Tao.

Forget yourself. Become one with eternity. Become part of your environment.

Whatever you may have to do, watch your mind. Also you must have moments of complete inner peace and quiet, when your mind is absolutely still. If you miss it, you miss the entire thing. If you do not, the silence of the mind will dissolve and absorb all else.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.
