Daily Tao - Awareness Is Wasted on the Mind Too Often

You are constantly aware. You could be no other way as that is what you are! Awareness itself.

As has been said many many times, the mind is a puppet show, constantly vying for attention by giving you what you least expect, or just what you did expect, but never what you crave. As you reach for peace, the mind throws up a new idea, wish or memory, like an attention seeker it will do anything to have your attention.

Your attention is precious, it is the root to being. Don't waste awareness on the mind.

By all means appreciate the majesty of your creation, but don't hold on to the unreal.

Daily Tao is a reprint from Ta-Wan's blog, Daily Cup of Tao, which offers one post per day for an entire year. You also can read these posts in an ebook.
