What is the secret to the art of life? The secret is this: Live in full awareness.

Don't grope in the darkness. Don't walk in sleep. Walk in awareness. Whatsoever you do, no matter what it is - even if it is as insignificant as opening and closing your eyes - do it thoughtfully, do it with awareness. Who knows? Everything may depend on that tiny action, on opening and closing your eyes! You may be walking along the road and see a woman, and you may spend your whole life with her. Even opening and closing your eyes, stay alert.
