Men want to please and seek favor from one another more
than is commonly perceived.

A girl asked a mystic, "Do the enlightened have nightmares?"
"Yes," he replied.
"Then how do they differ from ordinary men? What do they think of the nightmares?"
"That is how they differ," he replied. "When they have nightmares, they think,
'There went a nightmare,' and that's the end of it."

After laughing at the title of a book, "Modern Psychiatry,"
a man asked himself which part he was laughing at.

Claiming to have a certain pride and respect for the mind, one man says that
he does not consider any "looking back" as a form of thinking.
...(Hey, sounds like, could be a start.)

When someone asked a mystic what good deeds and practices an awakened man
would pursue, he replied, “The deed of not asking about practices, and the practice
of not thinking about deeds.”
