Notice your opinions. If you are aggressive about your opinions, notice that; if you are nonaggressive, notice that. By cultivating a mind that does not grasp at right and wrong you will find a fresh state of being, the ultimate cessation of suffering comes from that.
Look within, beyond the physical body, you have the faculties to do so. Focus your mind away from sensual input and you will discover a new mode of perception. Searching in this way you will begin to understand, and all your doubts will cease.
When most people hear about the ancient teachings, they waiver between belief and disbelief. When wise people hear about them, they diligently follow their path. Others laugh at them thinking they are foolish; by this laughter we know of their authenticity.
Stillness is accomplished by realizing the truth, not by resting the body, but inwardly still, being aware of the body. In action you act correctly, acting in the truth, not in obedience to others, but stopping in the proper place. Both action and stillness come from mindfulness.
Quote: Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd.
