Inner and Outer...


Your expectation of something unique and dramatic, of
some wonderful explosion, is merely hindering and
delaying your self-realization.

You are not to expect an
explosion, for the explosion has already happened – at the
moment you were born, when you realized yourself as
being-knowing-feeling.

There is only one mistake you are
making.

You take the inner for the outer and the outer for
the inner.

What is in you, you take to be outside you and
what is outside you take to be in you.

The mind and
feelings are external, but you take them to be internal.

You believe the world to be objective, while it is entirely
a projection of your psyche.

That is the basic confusion
and no new explosion will set it right.

You have to think
yourself out of it.

There is no other way.
