The process of becoming is not of doing but simply an act of observing. The internal process has been designed in such a way that it seems impossible for you to sit quietly even for some time at one place.

About This Quote

This is another of my favourite quotes. To me it means that the act of observing is the key to becoming. Honestly, I think the whole process of becoming something is quite pointless. Becoming something does not seem to be an act of doing, but simply an act of observing. The process of becoming seems to have been designed in such a way that it seems impossible for you to sit quietly at one place for some time without becoming something or learning something new.
