Anyone looking honestly at life will see that we live in a constant state of
suspense and ambiguity. Our minds are perpetually shifting in and out of
confusion and clarity. If we could be confused all the time, that would at
least make for some kind of clarity. What is really baffling about life is
that sometimes, despite all our confusion, we can also be really wise!
This constant uncertainty may make everything seem bleak and almost
hopeless; but if you look more deeply at it, you will see that its very
nature creates "gaps," spaces in which profound chances and opportunities
for transformation are continuously flowering-if, that is, they can be seen
and seized.
Sogyal Rinpoche
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we die we leave everything behind, especially this body we have
cherished so much and relied upon so blindly and tried so hard to keep
alive. But our minds are no more dependable than our bodies. Just look at
your mind for a few minutes.
You will see that it is like a flea, constantly hopping to and fro. You will
see that thoughts arise without any reason, without any connection. Swept
along by the chaos of every moment, we are the victims of the fickleness of
our minds. If this is the only state of consciousness we are familiar with,
then to rely on our minds at the moment of death is an absurd gamble.
Sogyal Rinpoche
