To have a body is to suffer. Those who understand this, detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, “To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.” When you seek nothing, you’re on the Path.
If we sincerely want to become a liberated person, then we have to be willing to be independent in a world where so few truly think for themselves.
The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.
If you do the right thing, eventually you will inspire others to do the right thing.
Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.
