I've examined this, I've looked at it, and it's a mystery to me. I know that what I speak of is true. I stake my life on it. My life is a guarantee that if you want to awaken to your true nature, if you want that totally, you will awaken to your true nature, very simply. Awakening is wanted for feeling better, or the hope that you won't have to be the same person you think you are now, or to get some recognition, or to forget all the bad things that you have done or have been done to you.
Awakening is wanted as a vehicle or a tool.
This is no good. Truth must be desired for itself, regardless of any consequences that might follow. This is a shocking truth. We are so used to wanting something to make our personal lives better. And God knows, we have tried.
