Six Words of Advice from Tilopa

Don't recall.
Don't imagine.
Don't think.
Don't examine.
Don't control.
Rest.


This advice consists of only six words in Tibetan. The above translation was developed to capture its brevity and directness. You might prefer this translation

Let go of what has passed.
Let go of what may come.
Let go of what is happening now.
Don't try to figure anything out.
Don't try to make anything happen.
Relax, right now, and rest.
