The Trouble with Thinking *


Master:  Thinking of freedom, keeps you from freedom.
Thinking of peace, keeps you from peace.
Thinking of love, keeps you from love.
Thinking of joy, keeps you from joy.

Student: How then can I know freedom, peace, love, joy?

Master: Be silent.
Silence is the gateway.
Where there is Silence, there is Freedom.
Where there is Silence, there is Peace.
Where there is Silence, there is Love.
Where there is Silence, there is Joy.

Love
Sundar.
