Lay them all down.
Don't take hold of anything at all.
Just stay with this unified awareness
Don't worry about the past or the future.
Just be still and you will reach the place where there's no advancing, no retreating and no stopping.
Where there's nothing to grasp that or cling to.
Why?
Because there's no self.
No me or mine.
It's all gone.
The Buddha taught to empty yourself of everything in this way.
Not to carry anything around.

Put effort into your contemplation.
Don't worry about your family.
At the moment they are as they are
