Whether it is your body, your mind, or the world - the idea of keeping distance from it is to have a better perspective of everything.

Life contains all your ideas, but your ideas can not contain life.

When you do things habitually, it seems easier, but without conscious action, there shall be No growth.  

If you think one piece of creation is better than another, you have completely lost it.

Any conclusion about life is bound to be a lie.
