ARRIVING AT THE TRUTH IN ALL THINGS
Perhaps the most effective advice for the things that matter most in a human's life
Is to completely eliminate from one's mind all that he has ever read
And to turn his back on every form of how-to, way to improve, or prescriptions

Turning one's back on how-to's and prescriptions is the first step in becoming Serious
It is a clearing of the desk
Not so that new answers can be entertained
But so that the problem can be removed from the rubble
And brought into the light of day

The Truth lies in the most unimaginable of places
The one who arrives at wisdom is the one who arrives at the conclusion that the problems of life were never meant to be fixed
It is for this reason that, despite his lifelong efforts, disorder rules the day

It is for this reason that, despite his lifelong efforts, disorder rules the day
The search for a fix is a futile search
Because it is based upon a compulsion of the mind
The compulsion is for things to be a certain way
And "fixing" is the attempt to make them this way
The Truth is, making things a certain way does not lead to satisfaction

The Mind is clever
In reading these words, it will conclude that what he must do is to "let go," as the spiritual community tells him
But this "letting go" is also an attempt to fix
For the only reason one is letting go is so that he can be free of the turmoil of trying to fix

The Truth is that all things that arrive by "effort" are fleeting
The things that last, contain their own gravity, and need no support from anyone or anything

Life becomes easy when it becomes natural
For nature never struggles
While man is never free of it

While man is never free of it
Man waters the seed of himself
He tends to it night and day
What he does not recognize is that this "self" bears poisonous fruit

The only way to a life without problems . . .
The only way to a life as natural as the rivers, the rains, and the hills
Is to arrive at an experiential understanding
The only way to a life as natural as the rivers, the rains, and the hills
Is to arrive at an experiential understanding
The understanding that one must arrive at
Is that his Mind has created all the problems of his life
And the way it enslaves him is by sentencing him to a life of searching for answers
To problems that do not, in reality, exist
Namaste.
