it will become a wound. It will be like an arrow going deeper and deeper, and it will become more and more painful.
That it is the journey that every seeker has to go through. That is the pain which is needed for your rebirth. Don't forget it, and don't start believing again in the old phoney personality.

Disease cannot feel itself as disease, only health can feel disease as disease. Remember that.
Who has become aware that "I am shallow, I am false and phoney and there seems to be no depth in me"? Who is this? This witness is you. This is your center; your center is arising out of the chaos of your personality. This is a great moment, a moment of great blessings: don't lose track of it. Howsoever painful the journey, one has to go through it, because the end is utterly blissful.
This is the sacrifice that each sannyasin has the make; the sacrifice of the phoney on the altar of the real.
