To realize independence...

Do nothing, just be. In being all happens naturally.

Be nothing, know nothing, have nothing. This is the only life worth living, the only happiness worth having.

You can do nothing. What time has brought about, time will take away. This is the end of yoga, to realize independence. All that happens, happens in and to the mind, not to the source of the "I am".

Once you realize that all happens by itself (call it destiny, or the will of God, or mere accident), you remain as witness only, understanding and enjoying, but not perturbed. You are responsible only for what you can change. All you can change is only your attitude. There lies your responsibility.
