horizon

And this would go and on.

It became a torture to him.

But it depicts his life

And the life of millions of people.

It depicts life as a desert4rt.

As people live it, it is futile, meaningless

Utterly absurd, ridiculous.

People are going, but not knowing where.

They go on and on

For the simple reason theat they cannot stop

They don't know how to stop.

There seems to be no break in their mechanism

Just an accelerator

So they go on accelerating.

And the second thing it says is

That man is not whole, just parts

Just legs walking, head thinking

Hands doing something else.

There is no co-ordination. Man is not a unity.

So the head may be dong one thing

And the legs may be doing something else

Just the opposite.

One hand may be compassionate

your other hand may be cruel.

With one hand you may be creative

With the other you may be destructive.

And the more he tried to get rid of it

The more impossible it became.

Nobody could help him.

A simple thing would have helped him:

If he had enjoyed it, it would have disappeared!

The whole day he was afraid

Constantly thinking that the night was com ing

And the dream would occur.

So he was hypnotized g himself the whole time.

For twenty-four hours a day he was talking to people;

About his dream and how to get rid of it.

He was so obsessed,

That very obsession was its root cause.

Man is just a victim

Of so many unconscious forces.

One can become a master

But then one has to transform one's unconscious

Into a conscious phenomenon.

That's the whole purpose

Of sannyas and meditation.

It is an alchemy, a simple method

To bring more awareness to your being.

The more aware you are

The more you are a master.

When you are fully aware

You have attained to the kingdom of god.

There is nothing
