Mindfullness

Reading is good, hearing is good, conversation and meditation are
good; but then, they are only good at times and occasions, in a
certain degree, and must be used and governed with such caution as
we eat and drink and refresh ourselves, or they will bring forth in
us the fruits of intemperance. But the spirit of prayer is for all
times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a
light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to
be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills
nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or
that, but wholly...given up to God to be where and what and how He
pleases.

This reminds me of the Buddhist "mindfullness"
