• The “I” must be attached to silence, because as a vessel, you are silent.
• The “I” must be attached to emptiness, because as a vessel, you are empty.
• The “I” must be attached to a place of space, because as a vessel, you are a place of space.
• When the “I” is attached to thought, then you are dead and thought steals your consciousness for itself.
• The battle is between thought and vessel to see which gets your consciousness and so your life.
