Relax. The body is there, the mind is there, but you are neither. You are the witness. This witness is your only treasure. Everything will be burned on a funeral pyre; only the witness cannot be touched by any fire, by any sword. The witness is your eternity.

The evening was great on its own, but your silence, your peaces, your blissfulness have made it a thousand times more beautiful. If you can keep witnessing through the day, twenty-four hours, your whole life will become just an ecstasy. A man who dies without knowing ecstasy lived in vain, or lived not.
