I enjoyed seeing how these words from Buddhist teachers Jack Kornfield and Joseph Goldstein correspond perfectly to the teachings in the Yoga Sutras on the practice and non-attachment:
“The art and discipline of meditation is one way of bringing the mind into balance. We train the mind in awareness and concentration, steadying the attention so that it is not so restless and agitated. From this increased sense of calm and equanimity we can then look more deeply into our experience. We become aware in each moment of both what it is that’s happening and our relationship to it. We ground ourselves in the reality of what is actually present, rather than being lost in our fantasies, thoughts, ideas, or interpretations“.
