Failure is all about us while we seek for goals that cannot be achieved. We look for permanence in the impermanent, for love where there is none, for safety in the midst of danger; immortality within the darkness of the dream of death. Who could succeed where contradiction is the setting of ones searching, and the place to which one comes to find stability? Goals that are meaningless are not attained. There is no way to reach them, for the means by which we strive for them are meaningless.
We ask to see a different world, and think a different kind of thought from those we made. The world we seek we did not make alone, the thoughts we want to think are not our own. Today we seek and find all that we want. Our single purpose offers it to us. No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth. From "Underneath the Mango Tree."
