Every teacher, every life experience, everything you notice in the universe, is but a reflection of your attachment. It's the way it works. If there is nothing you want, there is nothing that clings, and you go through life free. Collecting nothing. You collect a sight, you collect a record, you collect a computer, you collect a relationship, you collect a teacher, you collect a method, just more clinging. Use them all. Be with them. Enjoy them. Live fully in life. But don't cling. Flow through it. Be with it.
And as you are quiet and you listen and hear how it all is, then you will relate to all of it in a harmonious way, in a way in which there is not exploitation. Harmonious in the way you relate to the floor you're sitting on, to the person next to you, to the night air, to the world you have to live in.
