God Loves Fun
Nature loves to give you surprises. God loves fun. He always gives you surprises---sometimes pleasant, sometimes unpleasant. And you grow by unpleasant as well as by pleasant. In fact you grow much more by unpleasant surprises than the pleasant ones.
Observe, Don't Identify
Observe the tendencies that come up in you, and do not think you *are* those tendencies.
The Way Out of Ignorance
The way to come out of ignorance is a definite understanding, a definite knowledge in the mind, that my body is undergoing change all the time, the world is undergoing change all the time, the entire universe is in a state of fluidity and it is all full of change and it is going on on its own, according to its nature.
"Diamond Minds"
Diamond is found in coal mines. You find diamonds in coal mines---completely opposite [from coal], but of one substance. Their nature, their color, their look, every thing, is opposite. Coal sticks; diamond can never stick. Coal breaks; diamond can never break. Diamond shines; coal doesn't. But they are made up of one substance. When the mind is compressed, brought into one totality, then the same mind that has been our problem, our enemy, which has been the cause of all our suffering and anxiety, turns into the guiding light.
