Wisdom and knowledge are not the same thing. The intellect can never lead one to a complete insight. One has to use one's entire being to come into contact with the truth.
The master does not interfere. He perfects the whole universe in his heart. He is not interested in wealth and glory, sees no advantage to a long life, is not excited with success, is not discouraged by failure or troubled by the goods and evils of the world. He knows that all beings are the rings of a same chain and that life and death are only one body.
Ninety-nine percent of your problems are created by you because you take life seriously. Seriousness is the root cause of problems. Be playful, and you will not miss anything.
Whatever activity you do, do it slowly, with the attention it deserves. Do not rush to end it. Be relaxed in everything and bring your full attention to it.
The Way is not difficult, we only lose ourselves in our choices. By trying to accept this and reject that, our minds never recognize the truth. Do not get carried away by the karmic wheel. Do not stop either in emptiness. Keep a quiet heart, all duality evaporates spontaneously.
Where are you off to with that head of yours? Is there somewhere you should be? Was it something that I said the time I held you down and told you it's not you it's only me?
Maybe
Don't take what I don't need (Give me back my peace of mind) Don't say what I don't need (Give my back my precious time) No way you'll silence me You'll see
What you up to now your mirror's gone? Is there someone you should be? Did you think I was just fooling 'round with you?
But honestly But honestly But honestly
Don't take what I don't need (Give me back my peace of mind) Don't say what I don't need (Give me back my precious time) No way you'll silence me (Give me back my peace and quiet) Nowhere to hide from me You'll see
And tonight I thank the stars As I count my lucky scars For everything you've given me
And all the wants I gave to you Something borrowed, something blue If you want them back I'll give it to you
