If you are remembering your second-grade teacher, that is memory. When you then become aware that you are remebering your second-grade teacher, that is mindfulness. If you then conceptualize the process and say to yourself, "Oh, I am remembering," that is thinking.

Man compensates for his frustration by posing. In this he does not revert to the womb, but only to childhood, and to childish mechanisms for pretending. By pretending a bit, or a lot, he is able to make his robot existence more bearable. But, by this make-believe, he thrusts himself so far from the urgency of figuring out the labyrinth, that he simultaneously closes every avenue of spiritual awakening.

"Discard all traditional standards. Leave them to the hypocrites. Only what liberates you from desire and fear and wrong ideas is good. As long as you worry about sin and virtue you will have no peace." - Nisargattata

IF you're afraid of being grabbed by God, don't look at a wall.
Definitely don't sit still.

There is nowhere to go, so a way is not needed. In fact, dropping all the ways, dropping the very search and just being yourself is enough. Because you cannot do that, you have to be shown a few ways to walk and get tired on. That is just to exhaust you.

You see the search as futile, but at the same time, you think you need it in order to gain something.

Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Suffering occurs when something is taken for what it's not, rather than for what it is.

The wise man knows the Self, And he plays the game of life. But the fool lives in the world Like a beast of burden.
