ease with the daughter-in-law. There is going to be a constant bickering and fighting -- because the mother was supreme up to now, and suddenly she is deposed. Now another woman, a stranger, who has not done anything for this boy, has become supreme. A conflict arises.
The same happens with the inner search: your mind is your inner family. Whenever you want to do something new, whenever you want to move into the unknown, the mind resists, the mind says: No, this is not good. The mind will find a thousand and one rationalizations, and it is going to give you a hard struggle. That is natural, so don't be worried about it -- it has to be so.

Let all your senses be sharp, their tone sharp, alive, full of energy. And don't be afraid of life. If you are afraid of life, then you become insensitive so nobody can hurt you.
