To Learn About Oneself, A Living Thing,

There Is Always Great Beauty, Not Of Images, Feeling Or Thought. Beauty Is Neither Thought Nor Feeling; It Has Nothing Whatsoever To Do With Emotion Or Sentiment. There Is Fear. Fear Is Never An Actuality; It Is Either Before Or After The Active Present. When There Is Fear In The Active Present, Is It Fear? It Is There And There Is No Escape From It, No Evasion Possible. There, At That Actual Moment, There Is Total Attention At The Moment Of Danger, Physical Or Psychological.

Life Is Both Pleasure And Pain, Is It Not? But Why Should We Cling To Pleasure And Avoid Pain? Why Not Merely Live With Both? If You Cling To Pleasure What Happens? You Get Attached, Do You Not?

You Have Been Overcome; And Whether You Are Overcome By Envy Or By A So-called Noble Influence, You Are Still A Slave, You Are Not Free.

It Is Only When The Mind Is Free From The Old That It Meets Everything Anew, And In That There Is Joy.

Real Freedom Is Not Something To Be Acquired, It Is The Outcome Of Intelligence.
