Summary

Q: Can one sustain total attention?

When you observe the mountains, the trees or yourself with sufficient attention and energy, the observer with all its conditioning is absent.

Can one maintain this sense of total attention continuously?

Be aware of inattention. Awareness of inattention is attention.

We compare, measure, conform and identify with ideals.

The more we identify with something that gives pleasure the more we are attached to it.

What takes place when there is no identification? We then deal with facts and that gives tremendous vitality.
