The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.

The more we try to catch hold of the present moment the more elusive it becomes. It is like trying to clutch water in ones hands. The harder we grip, the more it slips through our fingers.

The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
