Let yourself go completely just like a boat floating on the river; you do not have to row the boat, just let it go loose; you are not to swim, just to float, then the river itself takes you to the ocean. The ocean is very near - but only for those who float but do not swim. Do not be afraid of drowning because that fear makes you swim - and the truth is that he who drowns himself in God is saved for ever; and do not have a goal, for he who has a goal begins to swim. Remember always - wherever one reaches, that is the destination, therefore he who makes God his goal goes astray. Wherever the mind is free from all goals -- there alone is God.
