Just sit,
�����Close your eyes,
�����Don't choose your thoughts, but watch them,
�����Be out of the ocean, drifting in a boat, sails down.
Concentrate intensely,
�����Then lose the concentration.
�����then smile
�����Then concentrate intently
�����waiting for the next thought
�����like a cat crouching
�����readying to pounce
�����staring intently at a mouse
�����The look its eyes is intensity.
�����Become a feline.
Learn, if you want to,
�����Label thoughts, revenge, love, lust, intention
�����Label emotions, fear, hate, love, lust.
�����Watch boredom as you watch every other thing
�����And if it keeps pulling you out the boat
�����smile
�����each time you clamber back in.
To understand everything
�����Separate everything.
�����Separate emotion from concept, from thought,, from judgement, from label
If you hate an enemy, perceive the judgement of a person, the concept of an enemy, the mental picture of them and the anger, separate and examined
�����objectively
�����still in your little boat
�����sails still down
If a wave splashes over
�����and sprays you
�����Don't jump in the ocean
�����or live with the fishes
�����but how does the emotion exist, in your body
�����How does your self,
�����perceive its feeling?
Let every thing come
Touch everything go
and watch the sky for a very long time
And when the sea becomes calmer, ready the sail
as soon we shall raise it
and decide our course
by a skillful use of what is
Yes!
