Reflection
Stillness
Don't try to become anything. Just remain as you are in the Unborn.
— Bankei
कुछ भी बनने की कोशिश न करें। बस अजात (Unborn) में वैसे ही रहें जैसे आप हैं।
— बानकेई
Why this matters:
Our original nature is prior to all effort and training; stillness is simply ceasing the attempt to be anything other than what we are.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
हमारा मूल स्वभाव सभी प्रयासों और प्रशिक्षण से पहले का है; शांति केवल वही बनने के प्रयास को रोकना है जो हम हैं।
