Man is an everlack, because he desires without knowing himself, because he desires to become something without knowing his being, and this is absurd. First one must know his being otherwise there will be anguish. Becoming is anguish because it is a constant tension between that which is and that which should be - and it is an impossible longing also because only that can be which is. So know yourself as you are without any ideals, without any judgement and without any condemnation. Go deep within yourself without any desires to become because only then can you know yourself. Discover yourself, not according to anybody else, but as you are. Discover the fact, discover the real in its total nakedness. In this total authenticity just be a witness, and then there is an altogether different quality to life, the quality of let go. Then one is relaxed totally. And all flowering is in relaxation, and all benediction.
