Acceptance is the key to unlock the door to realization.

As I sit in zazen, if I accept all that comes into my awareness, I am resolving the conflicting thoughts and ideas my mind generates and resolving them into a one-ness. Once I attain a strong level of acceptance, it is a certain indication that I am focusing my awareness.

The aim of zazen is stilling the mind, but we cannot experience such stillness if we resist the darting activity of our thoughts. We need to sit in acceptance and observe all that goes on and at the same time, maintain that resolve for perfect stillness of no-mind.
