AWARENESS IS LIKE A WIND<br><br>
In talking about open mind, we are referring to a kind of openness that
is related with letting self-existing awareness come to us. And awareness
is not something that needs to be manufactured: when there is a gap,
awareness enters into us. So awareness does not require a certain
particular effort. Such an effort is unnecessary in this case. Awareness
is like a wind. If you open your doors and windows, it is bound to come
in.<br><br>
