Attention

From ~~~~ Conscious Immortality, Ch.4

M.:
When attention is directed 
towards objects and intellect, 
mind is aware only of these things. 
That is our present state. 

But when we attend to the Self within 
we become conscious of It alone. 

It is therefore all a matter of attention. 

Our mind has for so long 
been attending to external things 
that the latter have enslaved it 
and drag it hither and thither.

 Change is the law of life, the most certain thing is the uncertainty surrounding life, everything, every person, every event comes and goes, nothing is permanent except Satyam. In the interim, if there is anyone you have to hold on, let it be the Divine, let it be Deiva Satyam. Radhe Radhe.

Know this: When you say 'I',
the true meaning of 'I' is joy, is happiness, it is life,
and it is also the witnessing of life.
Enjoy what comes,
but don't worry about anything at all.
Just be happy, happy, happy.
Know that whatever happens in life,
the final point is that everything is fine.
All is fine.

~ Mooji, from the book 'White Fire'

It is so common to struggle in daily life. We are rarely at ease in the here and the now, always struggling, trying to attain something. The first element of the practice is to stop struggling. 

Just allow yourself to be. 

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Just to be is a blessing.  Just to live is holy.
