Go beyond Tragedy and Misery

p. 80

Q: All Isee around me is tragedy and misery. A; Tragedy and misery are apart of life. If you focus only on tragedy and misery then tragedy and misery will be all that you see. Go beyond tragedy and misery to aplace where nothing ever happens. Find that place where no event ever occurred. If you are compulsively fascinated with memory then memories are all that you will see. Compulsive fascination with memory is akin to living in ahouse with dead, rotting corpses. It is amor¬ bid experience. If you are looking only at dead bodies then the possibility of knowing something fresh and new will be impossible. The happiness 1talk about is know¬ ing that which is new in every moment. There is abrightness and ashine that is ever new. That is the presence of God. That is your own Self. 8 0
