Identification with the body, with the mind, with our possessions, with our families, with our friends – any kind of identification takes you outwards. All your possessions will be outwards: your wife, your husband, your children, your body – your body is outside you; your mind – your mind is outside you. The only thing that is not outside you is the witnessing. Just the watchfulness – that is your buddha. Identification means losing witnessing, falling into the trap of attachment. That is our misery, that is our slavery.
