Children are natural Zen masters; their world is brand new in each and every moment.
You don't have to transcend something that you have no interest in. . . it may come but it finds no food.
When you can bear your own silence, you are free.
You ask, 'How to live my life?' But with the question you are suffocating life itself, for life is spontaneity.
How can you say you are peaceful if you are still identified with mind?
The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort.
Ignoring the mind is a beautiful sadhana. This is what many of the sages did. They ignored the mind out of existence. It loses its influence and its potency when it is ignored.
I am not always good and noble. I am the hero of this story, but I have my off moments.
Death cannot kill what never dies.
When I write I consider it a rhyme. In the studio I consider it laying down vocals. Onstage, I'm entertaining; I don't even think about it.
Losing is a bad feeling. I've never been on an undefeated team throughout high school, so I tasted defeat before. I've been taught to handle it graciously.
