We Live in Words But the Word Is Not Action

The passion of energy comes through action.

We cannot act when there is contradiction and to understand oneself is to be free of it.

To be free is to be aware. The root of contradiction is the division between the thinker and the thought.

In contradiction there is no love. When there is love there is death because love has no ambition.

When one is free of sorrow, living is doing.

The mind is still with energy; when it understands its contradiction, then there is an explosion which is creation.

Pleasure Is a Living Thing

Q: Is it possible to live differently and yet not smother pleasure?

When thought takes over desire then it becomes pleasure or pain. Thought begins the pleasure and the pain. What shall I do since I want pleasure and I don't want pain?

Pleasure is a living thing, pain is a living thing. Can my mind learn about a living thing if my mind is dead? Saying I don't want to live between pleasure and pain is already another desire.

How can a mind that is nationalistic class-minded, acquisitive, and possessive how can such a mind or heart love?

Can the mind and the heart look, not with dead conclusions, memories, ideas, images, but with something that is living which is love?
