Let It Be

You don’t have to try to catch the universe in the same way that you would try to catch a grasshopper or a flea. You don’t have to do something with what you have experienced, particularly. Why don’t you let it be as it is? In fact, that might be necessary. If you want to use something, you have to let it be. You cannot drink all the water on earth in order to quench your thirst eternally. You might drink a glass of water, but you have to leave the rest of the water, rivers, and oceans so that if you are thirsty again, you can drink more. You have to leave some room somewhere. You don’t have to gulp everything down. It’s much nicer not to do that; in fact it is polite.
