Let go of all ideas and images in your mind, they come and go and aren’t even generated by you. So why pay so much attention to your imagination when reality is for the realizing right now?

About This Quote

When you are focusing on your mind, it is like you are labeling the world for yourself. You are making it into an idea that fits your beliefs. You are creating an image that is not real. You are not even creating the world, but putting an idea of what it should be into your head.

The world does not care what you think it should look like, it only cares about what you think. All it wants is to be realized, so all you need to do is let go of your ideas and images and realize the reality right now.
