Q: Are there not good desires and bad, high desires and low?
M: All desires are bad, but some are worse than others. Pursue any desire, it
will always give you trouble.
Q: It takes time to know oneself.
M: How can time help you? Time is a succession of moments; each moment
appears out of nothing and disappears into nothing, never to reappear. How can you
build on something so fleeting?
Q: How to look for myself?
M: Whatever happens, it happens to you. What you do, the doer is in you.
Find the subject of all that you are as a person.
Q: My question is: How to find the way to one's own being?
M: Give up all questions except one: 'Who am l'? After all, the only fact you
are sure of is that you are. The 'I am' is certain. The 'I am this' is not. Struggle to find
out what you are in reality.
Q: I am doing nothing else for the last 60 years.
M: What is wrong with striving? Why look for results? Striving itself is your
real nature.
Q: Striving is painful.
M: You make it so by seeking results. Strive without seeking, struggle
without greed.
