A few days ago I posted something about the Mahasiddha Tilopa's "Six Words of Advice." I may not have found the right words to communicate the meaning here, and I continue to be intrigued by this sage advice and find it personally invaluable, so please forgive some further clarification. As to the little diagram or map, I find it actually helps me to be more aware where my mind is currently focused. And most of the time I am anywhere but where I would like to be. That is why these six words of advice are so helpful. Being reminded of what I am actually doing with my mind (and my time), even roughly, points out to me that I am usually, as they say, "Any which way but loose." And how is that? |
