Evolution of Love 2

From within

Be entirely self-determined and
ruled from within,
not from without.

Merely giving up a thing to secure a
better one is not true relinquishment.
Give it up because you see it is valueless. As you keep on giving up,
you will find that you grow spontaneously in intelligence and power and inexhaustible love and joy.

Desires and fears are not natural.
They are entirely mind-made.
You have to give up everything to know
that you need nothing, not even your body.

Your needs are unreal and your efforts are meaningless. You imagine that your possessions protect you.
In reality they make you vulnerable.

Realize yourself as away from all that can be pointed at as "this" or "that." You are unreachable by any sensory experience or verbal construction.
Turn away from them.
Refuse to impersonate.
