"Whatever work you're doing, keep an eye on your mind. If you see that it's going off the path, stop whatever you're doing and focus all your attention on it. The work of looking after your mind should always come first."
~ Ajahn Fuang Jotiko ~

"The Buddha's Dhamma is akaliko — timeless. The reason we haven't reached it yet is because we have lots of times: time for this, time for that, time to work, time to rest, time to eat, time to sleep... Our whole life turns into times, and as a result they don't give us a chance to see the truth clearly within ourselves. So we have to make our practice timeless. That's when the truth will appear in our hearts."

BE HAPPY FOR NO REASON AS REASON IS IMPERMANENT.
Seeking Delight Inherently Creates Suffering!
At Savatthi the Buddha once said: Friends, any who seeks delight in form seek delight in suffering. I tell you, anyone seeking delight in suffering, is not freed from suffering. Anyone who seeks delight in feeling, or seeks delight in perception, or seeks delight in mental constructions, or seeks delight in onsciousness, indeed thereby also seeks delight in suffering. One who seeks delight in suffering cannot be liberated from suffering...! Anyone who does not seek any delight, neither in form, nor in feeling, nor in perception, nor in mental constructions, nor in consciousness, does not seek delight in any suffering! Anyone who does not seek any delight in any form of suffering, is therefore and thereby released from all suffering...!

A closed and clouded mind is suffering. An open and clear mind can transform suffering into happiness. -

In short, �者�拒， 去者�留。
Whatever thoughts and emotions arise in meditation, allow them to rise and settle, like the waves in the ocean. Whatever you find yourself thinking, let that thought rise and settle, without any constraint. Don’t grasp at it, feed it, or indulge it, don’t cling to it, and don’t try to solidify it. Neither follow thoughts nor invite them; be like the ocean looking at its own waves, or the sky gazing down on the clouds that pass across it.
You will soon find that thoughts are like the wind; they come and go. The secret is not to “think” about the thoughts but to allow them to flow through your mind, while keeping your mind free of afterthoughts. -
