No. An Unremitting Readiness To Admit You

To A Woman Who Complained About Her Destiny The Master Said, "it Is You Who Make Your Destiny." "but Surely I Am Not Responsible For Being Born A Woman?" "being Born A Woman Isn't Destiny. That Is Fate. Destiny Is How You Accept Your Womanhood And What You Make Of It."

This Is What Wisdom Means: To Be Changed Without The Slightest Effort On Your Part, To Be Transformed, Believe It Or Not, Merely By Waking To The Reality That Is Not Words , That Lies Beyond The Reach Of Words. If You Are Fortunate Enough To Be Awakened Thus, You Will Know Why The Finest Language Is The One That Is Not Spoken, The Finest Action Is The One That Is Not Done And The Finest Change Is The One That Is Not Willed.

Spirituality Means Waking Up. Most People, Even Though They Don't Know It, Are Asleep. They're Born Asleep, They Live Asleep, They Marry In Their Sleep, They Breed Children In Their Sleep, They Die In Their Sleep Without Ever Waking Up. They Never Understand The Loveliness And The Beauty Of This Thing That We Call Human Existence.

Think Of A Flabby Person Covered With Layers Of Fat. That Is What Your Mind Can Become - Flabby, Covered With Layers Of Fat Till It Becomes Too Dull And Lazy To Think, To Observe, To Explore, To Discover ... Not Wanting To Be Disturbed Or Questioned Into Wakefulness.

These Things Will Destroy The Human Race: Politics Without Principle, Progress Without Compassion, Wealth Without Work, Learning Without Silence, Religion Without Fearlessness And Worship Without Awareness.
