Citas de Joko Beck

• La vida siempre nos da exactamente el maestro que necesitamos en cada momento. Esto incluye cada mosquito, cada desgracia, cada semáforo en rojo, cada atasco, cada supervisor (o empleado) detestable, cada enfermedad, cada pérdida, cada momento de alegría o depresión, cada adicción, cada trozo de basura, cada respiración. Cada momento es el gurú.

• Awareness is our true self; it's what we are. So we don't have to try to develop awareness; we simply need to notice how we block awareness with our thoughts, our fantasies, our opinions, and our judgments. We're either in awareness, which is our natural state, or we're doing something else.

• Most of our difficulties, our hopes, and our worries are empty fantasies. Nothing has ever existed except this moment. That's all there is. That's all we are. Yet most human beings spend 50 to 90 percent or more of their time in their imagination, living in fantasy. We think about what has happened to us, what might have happened, how we feel about it, how we should be different, how others should be different, how it's all a shame, and on and on; it's all fantasy, all imagination. Memory is imagination. Every memory that we stick to devastates our life.

• All I can be is who I am right now; I can experience that and work with it. That's all I can do. The rest is the dream of the ego.

• There is a foundation for our lives, a place in which our life rests. That place is nothing but the present moment, as we see, hear, experience what is. If we do not return to that place, we live our lives out of our heads. We blame others; we complain; we feel sorry for ourselves. All of these symptoms show that we're stuck in our thoughts. We're out of touch with the open space that is always right here.

• Enlightenment is not something you achieve. It is the absence of something. All your life you have been going forward after something, pursuing some goal. Enlightenment is dropping all that.

• It's of no use to look back and say, "I should have been different." At any given moment, we are the way we are, and we see what we're able to see. For that reason, guilt is always inappropriate.

• We are just living this moment; we don't have to live 150,000 moments at once. We are only living one. That's why I say you might as well practice with each moment.

• Cuando nos negamos a trabajar con nuestra decepción, incumplimos los Preceptos: en lugar de experimentar la decepción, recurrimos a la ira, la codicia, el cotilleo, la crítica. Sin embargo, es el momento de ser esa decepción el que es fructífero; y, si no estamos dispuestos a hacerlo, al menos deberíamos darnos cuenta de que no estamos dispuestos. El momento de decepción en la vida es un regalo incomparable que recibimos muchas veces al día si estamos alerta. Este regalo está siempre presente en la vida de cualquiera, ese momento en el que "¡No es como yo quería!

• How do we know if our practice is a real practice? Only by one thing: more and more, we just see the wonder. What is the wonder? I don't know. We can't know such things through thinking. But we always know it when it's there.

• My dog doesn't worry about the meaning of life. She may worry if she doesn't get her breakfast, but she doesn't sit around worrying whether she will get fulfilled or liberated or enlightened. As long as she gets some food and a little affection, her life is fine. But we human beings are not like dogs. We have self-centered minds which get us into plenty of trouble. If we do not come to understand the error in the way we think, our self-awareness, which is our greatest blessing, is also our downfall.
