Summary

There is nothing true or sacred in the rituals of the East or West.

Rituals have been put together by man in his despair, torture, fear. What is born out of fear can never lead man to truth.

To seek and to find is not only a waste of energy but it is also a hindrance, a detriment.

One must have immense energy because energy is all action. Life is energy.

From outward awareness you come to the inward. If you are not aware of the outer you can never come to the inner.

What brings clarity is self-knowing and a movement that has no restriction. Only such a mind is the religious mind.

To die to yesterday easily, voluntarily, without justification, without argument demands energy, so that the mind can be made fresh, anew.

There is creation when there is love and death.
