It’s only when timecomes to an end there is something new taking place.• To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over anyproblem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear.• Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it?• Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you weretalking about?• Q: Why don’t people get angry with what you are saying?
