Be Where You Are Now
Edited extract from the Tamborine Talk December 1988.
The joy or the pleasure within your body now is fundamental. No one can ever take that from you. Circumstances can always take what you are doing. You might lose your job tomorrow. You might lose an arm and then couldn’t do what you enjoy doing now. All the things of doing are subject to the caprice of circumstances; and often the caprice of others. But this fundamental feeling of the pleasure of ‘where I am now’, no one can take that from you - although your brain will endeavour to take it from you, by getting worried about this and that, by projecting you outside your body. Instead you keep it focused on the pleasure of being where you are now.
