“Eternity can be touched in this present moment, and the cosmos can be seen in the palm of our hand. But we need some mindfulness and concentration to do this. When you practice mindful walking or stretching, you can touch eternity with every movement. If you’re truly mindful, if you’re truly concentrated, if you can release the notion of self, you’re no longer this tiny body. You’re the whole cosmos. Your tiny body contains the whole cosmos in it. All the generations of the past and the future are there in your tiny body, and if you have that insight, it’s easy to touch eternity in the present moment.”
