Consider
Is it barely possible that a more Awake man would simply “do things”
and not do things “because”?

 

What is it that I mean behind the words, “personality” and “imagination”?
What is the blinding fog that engulfs man and keeps his eyes cloudy?
What is this thing that seems to stand between man and reality?
Ahhh, the impure likeness of oneself.

In the correct usage of rituals and ceremonies,
the emotions find speech and discover movement.

If you only strive to work on the mind with the mind,
how can you escape immense confusion?

It has been said that a man’s state is not truly Awakened unless it is natural,
and not the result of some extrinsic discipline.
But if this be so, “what to do”
when this “natural” state is out of town?
