Being Yourself

surrender to too many demands, to commit to too many projects, to want to help
everyone in everything is itself to succumb to the violence of our times.

of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the

present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your
own being. ~Mooji
