We find the light only after total defeat of our attempts to deceive and outwit it.
Your central self is totally untouched by grief, confusion, desperation.
Worried thought prevents practical thought which could prevent worried thought.
Mysticism is not this or that particular cup on the table; it is the water poured into all of them.
It is utterly useless to try to change the outer world, for it is but a reflection of inner causes. The true seeker seeks to change himself.
All we have to do is to receive what we are given...We are given the naturalness to love someone, to be calm in crisis, to ignore self-defeating suggestions, to be pleasant, forgiving, tender, helpful, unworried, brave, energetic.
