The search for bliss is everyone’s ultimate goal. 

In the end we are all simply actors in a cosmic picture show. 

There are no golden ages, no utopias, no heavens on earth. 

This world is a scene of continuous process, or diversification--which means it is an ever-changing scene. 

Sometimes it is better, sometimes it is worse--if looked at from a human standpoint--but none of these two conditions remains forever fixed. 

What we may reasonably look for and, if fortunate, hope to find, is an inner balance within ourselves which will yield a peace or a presence. 

Everyday remember the six tips from Tilopa: 

Don’t recall. Let go of what has passed.

Don’t imagine. Let go of what may come.

Don’t think. Let go of what is happening now.

Don’t examine. Don’t try to figure anything out.

Don’t control. Don’t try to make anything happen.

Rest. Relax, right now, and rest.
