„As I grew older, I realized that it was much better to insist on the genuine forms of nature, for simplicity is the greatest adornment of art.“

let it go
let it leave
let it happen
nothing
in this world
was promised or
belonged to you
anyway

all you own is yourself

Allein sein zu müssen, ist schwer –
allein sein zu können, ist schön.

Rabindranath Tagore

„Monks and scholars,
just as you test gold by burning, cutting, and polishing it,
so too well examine my speech.
Do not accept it merely out of respect.“

– Buddha

„II. 54: When consciousness interiorizes by uncoupling from external objects, the senses do likewise; this is called withdrawal of the senses.“

„I. 4: Otherwise, awareness takes itself to be the patterns of consciousness.“

„II. 20: Pure awareness is just seeing, itself; although pure, it usually appears to operate through the perceiving mind.“

“IV. 23: Then, consciousness can be colored by both pure awareness and the phenomenal world, thereby fulfilling all its purposes.

“IV. 34: Freedom is at hand when the fundamental qualities of nature, each of their transformations witnessed at the moment of its inception, are recognized as irrelevant to pure awareness; it stands alone, grounded in its very nature, the power of pure seeing. That is all.”

– Patanjali
