“In the silence of the mind I saw myself as I am—unbound.”
-Nisargadatta Maharaj
Examine silence: know you are aware.
Frequently, take a break from being a person. Rather than thinking of yourself as the physical body, with its seemingly endless reserve of needs and desires, be the silent witness of thoughts.
Make it a secret goal to be the witness as often as possible. Rather than being a slave to useless thoughts … you’re just quietly listening. And realize the beautiful freedom in just that.

Nature runs on silence.
