One night I couldn't sleep. It was like 2:00 in the morning. I was thinking, 'What can I do?' I'm watching TV. I'm like, 'Let me do something else.' I'm not going to fall asleep for a few hours.

I couldn't come up with anything. I was going, 'God, read a book.' Then I was like this, 'Where do I keep the books?' I've got nothing to do but watch TV.

Not only do the walls of opposition fall, but love is felt for every human being and for life itself.

Right now you can allow yourself to experience a very simple sense of not knowing - not knowing what or who you are, not knowing what this moment is, not knowing anything.

Relaxing into not knowing is almost like surrendering into a big, comfortable chair; you just fall into a field of possibility.

The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man.

Even if the water is falling right on it, it only touches the outside and not the inside. In this way the bowl will never get full.
-- Ajahn Chah -
