"The Buddha described the dharma as 'going against the
stream.'
As long as one swims with the current of a river, one remains unaware
of it. But if one chooses to turn against it, suddenly it is revealed as a
powerful, discomforting force.
The 'stream' refers to the accumulated habits of
conditioning.
The practice of dharma means to turn around midstream, to
observe mindfully and intelligently the forces of conditioning instead of
impulsively reacting to their promptings."
- Stephen Batchelor, "Dharma in the War Zone"
