and being cunning and clever about your actions -- you have to do this and you have not to do this -- and there are still shoulds and should-nots, then you are far away from home. You still think of yourself in terms of the momentary and not in terms of the eternal. You have not yet tasted God.
Like the sky and like the sea... is you.

And that's why there is so much frustration, and so much misery and so much hell -- because whatsoever you do will never satisfy your nature.
That's why people are dull and dead. They live, and yet they live not. They are moving like prisoners, chained. Their movement is not that of freedom, their movement is not that of dance -- it cannot be because they are fighting, they are
