The past and the future feel so real – and yet they are just thoughts. If you practice not paying attention to them, you’ll discover: there is no “before” and no “after.” Your life remains the same, but what used to trouble you is no longer a problem.

I always advise you to say Yes to what is – but today I’ll let you in on my secret: in reality, this is impossible. You can’t just say Yes. But simply breaking a habit you’ve had for ages, that’s possible – and your life will become simple.

You don’t have to make an effort to be born, to die, or to love – so why is it so difficult to meditate, when it should be the most natural thing in the world? This question touches on a dilemma that many people face; the answer lies where thoughts cannot search.

Life is a paradoxical dream from which there seems to be no awakening – those who try only dream more deeply. Yet it happens all the same, though the path leads in an unexpected direction: inward. Those who say “yes” unconditionally to what they experience here begin to see.

It’s only when serious illnesses threaten that we realize, helplessly, how dependent our happiness is on our bodies. Yet the greatest help for the body lies in your hands – and at the same time, it’s a challenge that most people avoid. But in reality, it’s quite simple.

We’ve forgotten how to live: instead, we are only thinking about what we’re experiencing. Why does intoxication feel so liberating, why is sex so intense? Because for a few moments, the words in our heads fall silent – and that’s exactly what anyone can do, at any time, in every moment.

“I have to make it – but I can’t”: in this conflict, we suffer because of ourselves and because of life. No one can escape this trap of the ego on their own, because we don’t want help. Life prepares you anyway – and you are being touched.

You meditate and you begin to live from within, and everything is well. Yet time and again, it feels as though you’re losing everything. I’ll tell you how inner growth happens, about the seasons of inner development, and what helps you navigate through them.

Animals laze in the sun when they’re fed – but we humans are forever looking for the next challenge, the next mountain, the next battle. And so, without us realizing it, life prepares us for the final – impossible – task.
