“You are not your thoughts.”
Thoughts are like clouds — they come and go, constantly changing shape. But beyond them, the sky remains clear and vast. When you learn to observe your thoughts instead of identifying with them, you discover the calm, stable awareness that is your true nature.
– Shi Heng Yi
