We Grow Small Trying To Be Great.

In Our Ashrams Of East And West, Places Of Spiritual Retreat, We Begin With What We Call "the Morning Of The Open Heart," In Which We Tell Our Needs. . . . We Give Four Or Five Hours To This Catharsis. The Reaction Of One Member, Who Listened To It For The First Time, Was: "good Gracious, Have We All The Disrupted People In The Country Here?" My Reply Was: "no, You Have A Cross Section Of The Church Life Honestly Revealed." In The Ordinary Church, It Is Suppressed By Respectability, By A Desire To A Appear Better Than We Really Are.

A Rattlesnake, If Cornered Will Become So Angry It Will Bite Itself. That Is Exactly What The Harboring Of Hate And Resentment Against Others Is -- A Biting Of Oneself. We Think We Are Harming Others In Holding These Spites And Hates, But The Deeper Harm Is To Ourselves.
