• It is a mistake to imagine that you can awaken in any kind of permanent way. There is only NOW and so you can only be awake now. Even the idea of permanence is an illusion. The question to ask is 'Am I awake and fully present NOW?' That question arises and is answered in perfect silence.

• Keep the remembrance of your real nature alive, even while working, and avoid haste which causes you to forget. Be deliberate.

Think that is the underlying current which is doing it. Identify yourself with the current.
