Notes by TK
We must get beyond the idea that awakening is something far away and strange. Upon awakening in bed in the morning a man is for a split second in possession of enlightenment but instantly moves away from it through thought. It is the automatic inducing of dissatisfaction natural to man. Men cannot tolerate neutral consciousness, they must think and talk. The mind has no parallel, nothing comparable to the respite from exertions natural to the body.
