Do Not Pursue What Should Be, But

You Yourself Are The Teacher, And The Pupil, You're The Master, You're The Guru, You Are The Leader, You Are Everything! And, To Understand Is To Transform What Is.

We Choose Our Leaders, Political Or Spiritual, Out Of Our Own Confusion, And So They Also Are Confused.

As Long As The Mind Is In Conflict-blaming, Resisting, Condemning-there Can Be No Understanding. If I Want To Understand You, I Must Not Condemn You, Obviously.

We Want To Be Famous As A Writer, As A Poet, As A Painter, As A Politician, As A Singer, Or What You Will. Why? Because We Really Don't Love What We Are Doing. If You Loved To Sing, Or To Paint, Or To Write Poems, If You Really Loved It You Would Not Be Concerned With Whether You Are Famous Or Not.

If You Have The Desire, If You Establish The Goal - Which Is Harmony, Which Is Happiness Through Liberation- Then These Stages Of Revolt, Of War, Of Struggle, Can Be Avoided - Should Be Avoided. You Are Not Going To Wallow In The Gutter If You Can Jump Over It.
