It is difficult to work hard in search of "nothing to search for." It is because we have a habit of putting up something outside us and of searching for it. Practice is for removing the habits. It is important not to put up anything outside you. In short, practice to "just" be. Devote yourself whole-heartedly to one thing "now" without using any other thought. This is the point of the practice. A true practice is to abandon all thoughts completely and to become one with things. The key is to raise your aspirations for enlightenment and to gain the point of focus. So please read this book to cultivate it further. To be "now" and "just" is the state where you have thoroughly abandoned whatever you read and understood in the book. It is a true "just" when even this "just" has completely vanished. This is the focus of the practice.
