We're normally caught up in the current of our thinking, feelings and emotions. With awareness, we can observe it all without being swept away.

I think it's crucial to recognize that we are so fortunate to have this human birth where we can practice what we want, pick up and not just read books but actually understand them. This level of education is very rare throughout history, so we shouldn't take it for granted.

We have produced many of our problems through our confused mental states.
