|    Make straight your hooks    |

      From: oldernow@dev.null              (from "I Am That" by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj)              Q: My thoughts will not let me.              M: Pay no attention. Don't fight them. Just do nothing       about them, let them be, whatever they are. Your very       fighting them gives them life. Just disregard. Look       through. Remember to remember: 'whatever happens -- happens       because I am'. All reminds you that you are. Take full       advantage of the fact that to experience you must be. You       need not stop thinking. Just cease being interested. It       is disinterestedness that liberates. Don't hold on,       that is all. The world is made of rings. The hooks are       all yours. Make straight your hooks and nothing can hold       you. Give up your addictions. There is nothing else to       give up. Stop your routine of acquisitiveness, your habit       of looking for results and the freedom of the universe is       yours. Be effortless.              --       NPC's dutifully ignored.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
