Everything
Everything
we might need
at the moment
is within our reach

Jacob

Hapiness
Hapiness isn't something one can find
thanks to the effort of one's will
or any greater effort,
because it is everpresent,
perfect and ready,
in relax and in neglect.
Don't worry, there's nothing to do.
Anything happening in the mind
matters not in the least,
because it isn't real.
Don't cling to it.Don't evaluate.
Let the game play itself
- let it become and be gone-
and change nothing.
Everything dissolves and begins anew
without stop.
It is only our search for hapiness
that makes it impossible for us to see.
It's just like a rainbow that we follow
but can never reach;
because hapiness doesn't exist,
although it's always been here
and accompanies you in every moment.
Don't think that good or bad experiences
are true; they're like rainbows.
You're wasting your time
trying to achieve
something you can't apprehend.
But if you give up trying
a space appears
that is open, inviting and comfortable.
Use then.
Everything is waiting for you.
Stop searching.
Don't start a trip into the deep jungl,
in search of an elephant,
that is waiting at home
peacefully.
Don't do anything.
Don't force anything.
Don't want anything.
- everything happens by itself.
