“This is what meditation is all about, just becoming a watcher. Failure comes, success comes, you are praised, you are condemned, you are respected, you are insulted - all kinds of things come, they are all dualities. And you go on watching.

Watching both, a depth arises in you: the third dimension, witnessing, sakshin.”
