You will have to learn this new art of seeing things without judging , of seeing things without verbalising, of seeing things without evaluating.See the rose, see the bird on the wing, see the night full of stars, see the river passing by, see the traffic. Listen to the songs of the birds or a train passing by. Start learning a new art of just being reflective,not bring any thought in, not saying anything at all.
It will take time - old habits die hard - but one day it happens.If you persist , if you are patient enough, if you go on and on working at cleaning your inner world ,one day it happens.And the benediction of that day is immense. In fact , you are born anew.You start seeing the same world with new eyes because your eyes are so clear, your mirror reflects so deeply ,so totally,without distortion ,that the same trees that you have seen before thousands of times - are far more green than they have ever been . and their greenness is no ordinary greenness : it is luminous , it is radiating light.

ZAZEN
only by practising zazen,Satori is possibleZazen means simply siting ,doing nothing.You are simply relaxing into your own being,not doing anything at all.It is not a question of doing.It is simply a question of being.You go on relaxing into your being. A moment comes when you are in your utter purity ,in your utter simplicity, in your utter innocence .That is satori.
Zazen is a beautiful word .It simply means just sitting _ not even doing meditation. In fact , you cannot do meditation. Meditation is just sitting silently; it is not a question of doing. If you are doing somthing you are disturbing your meditation.

satori
To be ordinary ...and there isno competition at all.You can just be ordinary , nobody has any objection. People will simply feel sorry for you that you have dropped out of the competitive race.One competitor less..they will feel good but sorry for you.They will say "poor fellow!what happened to him?Why did he have to drop out?"The dropouts are not respectable people .
Buddha is a droupout.All real masters are dropouts.To be a sannyasin means to be a dropout. To dropout of the rat race is to drop in, because when you are in arace you cannot enter in.When you are no longer in the race there is no where to go.You start moving inwards because life is a flow : if there is no outer direction it takes the inner direction. If the goal is not there far away in the future, then you start moving into your nature in the present. That is satori.

RELIGION
Your daily life is your Temple and your Religion.
Whenever you enter into it take with you, your all.
Take the plough and the forge and the mallet and the lute,
The things that you have fashioned in neccessity or for delight.
For in reverie you cannot rise above your achievements nor fall lower than your failures .
And take with you all men;
For in adoration you cannot fly higher than their hopes nor humble yourself lower than their despair.
And if you would know God ,be not therefore a solver of riddles.
Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.
And look into space; you shall see Him walking in the cloud ,out stretching His arms in the lightening and descending in the rain.
You shall see Him smiling in flowers, then rising and waving His hands in trees.
Khalil Gibran

PAIN
Your pain is breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life,
your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart ,even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self - chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust your physician , and drink his remedy in silence and tranquilty:
For his hand , though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the unseen,And the cup he brings,though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of clay which the potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.

from conversations with god
Nothing can happen,nothing can occur in your life which is not a precisely perfect opportunity for you to heal something ,create something ,or experience something that you wish to heal, create or experience in order to be Who You Really Are.
From conversations with God
You Teach what you have to learn
It is not necessary to have achieved perfection to speak of perfection
It is not necessary to have achieved Mastery to speak of mastery
It is not necessary to have reached highest level of evolution to speak of the highest level of evolution
It is not necessary to have achieved perfection to speak of perfection
It is not necessary to have achieved Mastery to speak of mastery
It is not necessary to have reached highest level of evolution to speak of the highest level of evolution
