If you want to be free,
Get to know your real self.
It has no form, no appearance,
No root, no basis, no abode,
But is lively and buoyant.
It responds with versatile facility,
But its function cannot be located.
Therefore when you look for it,
You become further from it;
When you seek it
You turn away from it all the more.
– Linji (d. 867)
What book is that quote from? I have not seen it or its author previously and would like to see more.

Thoughts are a natural process of the mind. As distracting as they may be at times, they are the key to finding the paths in our minds.
Today I give thanks to being.
