"It is completely natural [during meditation] that thoughts keep on arising. The point is not to try to stop them, which would be impossible anyway, but to liberate them. This is done by remaining in a state of simplicity, which lets thoughts arise and vanish again . . . Sometimes, let your thoughts flow, and watch the unchanging nature behind them . . . A trickle of thoughts makes the stream of consciousness, the mind-stream, but the mind-stream leads on to the ocean of existence."
