Let go of what has passed.

Let go of what may come.

Don’t try to make anything happen.

Relax, right now, and rest.

[kellymagovern]

You are continuously fighting inside, continuously suppressing something, continuously trying to force something else. Anger comes, and you would like to be non-angry; greed comes, and you would like to be greed-less; possession comes, and you would like to be non-possessive; violence comes, and you would like to be non-violent; there is cruelty, and you go on imposing compassion; there is much turmoil, and you would like to be serene and silent; something goes on inside, and you go on imposing something else on it, continuous fight dissipates the remaining energy. And this is going to be so, unless you become one again. —Osho, "The Grass Grows By Itself," Discourse 6 (February 26, 1975)

"In the Tibetan tradition, there is a well-known pith instruction spoken by the Indian master Tilopa to his disciple Naropa. He said,

The mind is not bound by appearances.

The mind is bound by grasping.

O Naropa, cut through grasping."
