Happiness
You don't get hung up on past unhappiness or happiness.
You don't get hung up on the future happiness or unhappiness.
You're just left with the present happiness or the present unhappiness.
Then you are quite happy!
Violence
The Guru cannot see for the disciple, the Guru cannot force the disciple to see, nor even persuade him to see, for all this is violence.
Knowledge
Knowledge cannot come to an end in the sense that you forget.
As long as your brain functions normally, it stores what has been received.
Knowledge comes to an end only by being assimilated.
Ready
First, I must prepare myself; I must be ready to burst into flame.
Then I must go to a Guru.
By merely looking at Him, I may attain enlightenment.
Life and Death
Life has become a problem only because we have tried to isolate it from death, treating death itself as a problem.
When we see that death is not a problem, but an inevitable component of life, then life is not a problem either.
Life and death are inseparable.
