If my happiness at this moment consists largely in reviewing happy memories and expectations, I am but dimly aware of this present. I shall still be dimly aware of the present when the good things that I have been expecting come to pass. For I shall have formed a habit of looking behind and ahead, making it difficult for me to attend to the here and now. If, then , my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.

There is no satisfying the senses, not even with a shower of money. "The senses are of slight pleasure and really suffering."

It is foolish to dwell on external differences, because our basic natures are the same.
