I'm very aware there are lots of other people who are just bright and working just as hard, with just the same dedication to make the world a good place.
Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed.
When I say 'work' I only mean writing. Everything else is just odd jobs.
