A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.
Those who read books cannot understand the teachings and, what’s more, may even go astray. But those who try to observe the things going on in the mind, and always take that which is true in their own minds as their standard; never get muddled.
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds’ wings.
The whole life of man is self-expression… We suffer if we do not express ourselves.
