"...if we cannot flow with the tide as it shifts, we are not in single-pointed concentration, not in samadhi.
"The word samadhi carries with it two absolutely contrary meanings: 'perfect reception' and 'perfect non-reception'. In order to 'perfectly receive' each instant as it occurs, it is necessary to 'perfectly not-receive' the previous instant and the future instant. No matter how accurately and in what detail a mirror may reflect what is before it in one instant, should it be turned to face in a new direction, the previous reflection will disappear without a trace and the mirror will faithfully reflect what is newly before it.
...
"The mind that neither ignores anything nor attaches to anything is not something that is obtained through training. It is the natural 'power' with which you entered the world. ...awaken through practice to this power that we inherently possess, to freely demonstrate it, and to bring it to life."
