There is nothing to be done

There are no conditions to fulfil. There

is nothing to be done, nothing to be given up.

Just look and remember, whatever you

perceive is not you, nor yours. It is there

in the field of consciousness, but you are

not the field and its contents, nor even

the knower of the field. It is your idea

that you have to do things that entangles you

in the results of your efforts - the motive,

the desire, the failure to achieve, the sense

of frustration - all this holds you back.

Simply look at whatever happens and know

that you are beyond it.
