The last thing my mother said to me was, ‘SuSu, your life is a celebration of everything that is cheap and tawdry.’ I’ve always liked that, and I’ve always tried to live up to it.

Watching the Source
It must be noted that the word ‘watching’ means ‘paying attention to’ the source. Paying attention to the source becomes really possible only in stillness. Attention is the key. Attention is consciousness.
Source, the Self, is Absolute Consciousness. That is, consciousness
is applied to its own source.
The stillness should not be disturbed by any mental activity, and watching does not imply any mental activity. It implies ‘becoming aware of’ the source.
— N.S. Ramamohan

In some sense, the act of mindfulness meditation itself could be understood as a practice of dying — to each moment. If you get good at it, your last moment will be easier.
