M. […] The fact that you do not look carefully enough. Look closely and you'll see what I see.
V. And what do you see?
M. I see what you see you too, here and now, if not concentrassi your attention in the wrong direction. You do not pay attention to yourself. Your mind is always with objects, people and ideas, and never with yourself. Put yourself in the spotlight, become aware of your existence. Watch how it works, points out the reasons and the results of your actions. Examine the prison you have built around tea, inadvertently. By knowing what you are not, you get to learn about tea itself. The way back to tea itself passes through the rejection and denial. One thing is certain: the real is not imaginary, It is not a product of the mind. Even the feeling of '”I am” It is not continuous, although it is a useful indicator: shows where to look, but not what to look for. Watch it carefully. As soon as you are convinced that the only real thing that you can say tea is “I am”, and that you can not be nothing that you can tell, the need of '”I am” vanishes accanisci more to look for a verbal explanation of who you are. You only need to get rid of the tendency to define yourself. Each definition refers only to your body and its expression. When it disappears obsession body, will you turn spontaneously and effortlessly to your natural state. The only difference between us is that I am aware of my natural state, while you're confused. As gold processed and turned into jewelry is not the most valuable gold dust, if not for the value that gives him the mind, so we are one in essence and different only appearance m. We discover if we are serious, we discover looking, investigating, asking ourselves every day, at any hour of the day, dedicating his life to this discovery.
