Paraphrasing Ajahn Chah :

"Mind be clear at all times. Thoughts and other mental constructs be like animals visiting a Forest pond. The animals come to drink water and one just stays watching. Furry and dark, Long and slimy, Weird and strange, beautiful and wonderful animals. Let them."

This imagery has helped me come back to perspective. How this sort of a relaxed unbounded state is true, possible, can be chosen and recommended as good by a great master.

What animal – not too keen. Where or how of the animal – such a question is another animal by itself.

Thank you Master.
