You have not looked at the poor woman for years, for the simple reason that marriage makes things so certain. Marriage makes things so dead and dull. Marriage takes all surprise and wonder away. Marriage makes you take your wife for granted, your husband for granted. What is the need to look at your wife? She will be there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and forever. You look at people when you know you may not be able to look at them again. Marriage kills; it makes something tremendously beautiful very ugly.

Understanding transforms, it does not sublimate. If you understand, anger disappears and the same energy becomes compassion.

When you understand hate, hate disappears and the same energy becomes love. Love is not against hate -- it is absence of hate.

You will have to relax from the circumference. The first step in relaxing is the body.
