Realization
If I go to him as a disciple, one who wants to learn, an embodiment of discipline, then first: I must realize that I am ignorant.
Second: that this ignorance is dreadful, that it is the cause of all my sorrow and unhappiness.
Third: that this light will help to dispel the darkness of ignorance.
Changing the Reality
If it is part of human nature, it is absurd even to think of changing the reality.
In that case, I must accept exactly the same behavior from the other man, and everything will become all right!
What You Are
Be what you want to be - the content of what you are, in reality, is God.
Unselfish and Divine
Fire does not look for a hot water bottle; confirmation of warmth is not necessary.
The heart in which love shines, which is aware of itself without being aware of the other, with no necessity for that love to flow towards another in a dualistic relationship, that heart is unselfish and divine.
I or They
We are caught in "either - or."
Either I must do it or God must do it.
This is an artificial choice.
Either "I" must do it or "they" must do it.
Why not both?
Why not do my part of it.
