Just to Be Alive

The meaning of life is just to be alive.
It is so plain and so obvious and so simple.
And yet, everyone rushes around in
a great panic as if it were necessary
to achieve something beyond themselves.

Alan Watts

A Path With Heart

All paths are the same, leading nowhere.
Therefore, pick a path with heart!

not by thinking about acting.

Completely Available

I'm completely available
because I'm not busy dictating
how the world should be.

Going Outside Yourself

Maybe you're addicted to being appreciated,
to getting attention, to being right.
Ultimately you may discover that going
outside yourself in order to gain anything
is painful.

Unquestioned Belief

The problem is not my
inability to find a solution;
the problem is my
unquestioned belief in problems.

Absolutely Nothing

I truly attained absolutely nothing from
complete, unexcelled enlightenment!

The Buddha

The Kinship of the Atma

It is true that this body has no relationship
with any of you except the kinship of the Atma*
which this body enjoys equally, not only
with each of you, but even with all the trees
and foliage around, as well as with rocks,
mountains, and everything else.

Anadamayi Ma
