At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. We cannot put off living until we are ready. Life is fired at us point blank. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside. When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
