| A person who thinks all the time
|
| Has nothing to think about except thoughts
|
| So, he loses touch with reality and lives in a world of illusions
|
| By thoughts I mean specifically, chatter in the skull
|
| Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words, of reckoning and calculating
|
| I'm not saying that thinking is bad
|
| Like everything else, it's useful in moderation
|
| A good servant, but a bad master
|
| And all so-called civilized peoples
|
| Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive
|
| Because through excessive thinking they have lost touch with reality
|
| That's to say
|
| We confuse signs
|
| With the real world
|
| This is the beginning of meditation
|
| Most of us would have rather money than tangible wealth
|
| And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed
|
| And to read about it the next day in the newspaper
|
| Is oddly more fun for us than the original event
|
| This is a disaster
|
| For as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs
|
| We are destroying nature
|
| We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
|
| Time to wake up
|
| What is reality?
|
| Obviously, no one can say
|
| Because it isn't words
|
| It isn't material, that's just an idea
|
| Reality is-
|
| The point cannot be explained in words
|
| I'm not trying to put you down
|
| It's an expression of you as you are
|
| One must live...
|
| We need to survive, to go on
|
| We must go on |
