AWARENESS IS LIKE A WIND

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.
