Thoughts are ephemeral, unchosen, and primarily uncontrolled. Don’t let them defeat you. Don’t let them control you. You are not them. Don’t identify with them. That will bring certain suffering.

Your thoughts are like birds passing across a clear, bright, blue sky. You, yourself, your shining magnificence, your true nature is that radiant clear blue sky, while the thoughts simply pass away.

Look for that break in thoughts. That point of still silence. Who or what is watching the thinking going on? See that cloudless, brilliant sky. And there you will find the full, beautiful, empty nothingness of everything.
