this morning i woke up and immediately thought the following: close your eyes and the outside world will vanish what vanishes is impermanent what is impermanent is unreal what is unreal is not worth holding to do your duties and let the mirage pass by witnissing the body move around performing duties using the mind only when absolutely necessary ..otherwise just disposing of the mind and thoughts
Ramana Maharshi says that waking state is no better than dream state....He used to call them (respectively) dream 2 and dream 1.. . this morning when i woke i said to myself...well dream 1 is finished for now....welcome to dream 2... ... do ur duties but dont take things too seriously...
