CHANGE - YOUR VERY NATURE

Drop what hurts

If someone complains that he cannot change, I say change is your nature. I am surprised that you are holding on to the same character! Let go and you will change. Your body is changing. Your mind is changing. You are becoming more mature. You just have to let go, relax, allow yourself to change. Existence will change you. Life will change you. Trust yourself and relax.

When people don't listen and insist, then, I give them advice and confuse them. If you let it, your heart will transform you. The air you inhale and exhale will potentially change you. If your body, which is so gross and made of matter can change, don't you think your mind which is subtle and is energy can change? If you trust your intelligence, you will be transformed immediately. You will be enlightened when you drop your mental setup, like dropping a fire pot. But you don't believe it so easily. You say, 'Give me a technique. It is so difficult.' The word difficulty is the greatest difficulty. When you know fire burns, drop the fire. Where is the difficulty? Be a little more intelligent. Drop what hurts. When you understand that the mental setup causes you trouble, drop it. You will then transform your being.

PERFECTIONISM AND SECURITY

Don't be dead, be alive!

The seed always wonders: what will I do if I break? Unless it breaks, the plant cannot grow! Trust and open, trust and break, you will grow. If you make mistakes, it's worth making mistakes. Perfectionism is madness. The more you are far from perfect, the more God has grace for you. The search for perfection is a search for madness. Graveyard is the perfectly secure place. But it's not the place to live; it is only for the dead. A ship is secure in the harbor, but it has to move out to function…
