I loved a girl

when I was a girl,

before I knew desire

could be used against me.

“You yourself are the work tool, you have no other tool. There is no simpler or easier way.”

- Nisargadatta

“Every moment, every existence is a causality in itself. Apart from this, there is no self or the world. That being the case, the truly free man is the one who lives in peace in any circumstance that the cause and effect cause. Regardless of whether the situation is favorable or adverse, he lives it with all his being, that is, he is the causality itself. Never discriminate in a dualistic way the different aspects of the situation. His heart is never disturbed by external elements. Living in this way, he is the master of cause and effect and everything has a blessing. This is how eternal peace is achieved.”

- Roshi Philip Kapleau
