Less Ambition, Less Disturbance
|
|
The
beautiful thing about having less obsessions and ambitions, and just
sitting straight and watching the breathing, is that nothing will disturb
us. Things only disturb us when we have an aim. When we have an aim, we
become obsessed. Say our aim is to go somewhere, but somebody parks
right in front of our car, blocking us. If something gets in the way of
our aim, it becomes a terrible thing. If we don?t have an aim, though,
it doesn't matter.
