Just Sit and Do
We talk a lot about not clinging to things. We practice non-attachment. Sometimes we do not think about clinging or being attached to our own practice. If we are doing that, it is not so good either. A stream trickles down a mountain naturally. No clinging, no attachment, no thought. It is pure natural. Our aim should be to have a natural practice. Sit and do without thought. Trying to analyze everything can lead to paralysis by analysis. If we are constantly thinking and debating the merits of our practice, this is not natural. There is no need to make problems where there are not any. Buddha said we have just the right amount of problems, not too few, not too many. We do not need to create artificial ones. Sometimes we make oceans out of rivers. Some create rivers that are not even there. Just sit and do. Do not think so much. Do not invent rivers or be deluded that the puddle in front of you is the Atlantic Ocean. Let things flow as naturally as possible. Stay free and unattached.
