"Do you still not know that the way to truth stands open only to those without intentions?"
"We should grow like a tree that likewise does not know its law. We tie ourselves up with intentions,
not mindful of the fact that intention is the limitation, yes, the exclusion of life. We believe that we can illuminate the darkness with an intention, and in that way aim past the light. How can we presume to want to know in advance, from where the light will come to us?"
"Life does not come from events, but from us. Everything that
happens outside has already been."
