Why Haven't We, With All Our Cunning,

After All You Grow By Experience. But While Your Son Is Young, You Should Try To Set Before Him His Ultimate Goal.

One Of The Functions Of Thought Is To Be Occupied All The Time With Something. Most Of Us Want To Have Our Minds Continually Occupied So That We Are Prevented From Seeing Ourselves As We Actually Are. We Are Afraid To Be Empty. We Are Afraid To Look At Our Fears.

Fear Begins And Ends With The Desire To Be Secure; Inward And Outward Security, With The Desire To Be Certain, To Have Permanency. The Continuity Of Permanence Is Sought In Every Direction, In Virtue, In Relationship, In Action, In Experience, In Knowledge, In Outward And Inward Things. To Find Security And Be Secure Is The Everlasting Cry. It Is This Insistent Demand That Breeds Fear.

If There Is No Order In Your Relationship With Your Wife, With Your Husband, With Your Children, With Your Neighbour - Whether That Neighbour Is Near Or Very Far Away - Forget About Meditation.

Do Not Pursue What Should Be, But Understand What Is.
