SUMMARY

Relief comes the moment the thinking is given up; boredom then tempts a return to suffering. This pattern is upheld by rationalising—thinking in fixed proportions about what cannot be worked out by the head. Logic demands right action, sometimes no action, and no fear of failure. Real love is preserved by keeping pleasure in the body and refusing the mind's excitement and projections. Those earnest in truth are responsible to the law and cannot indulge as others do.

The practice offered is to 'listen to the whole,' widening hearing and sight until the internal 'monitor' of self-consciousness loses its grip. Teacher and Master are distinguished: the teacher says what you already know, the Master tells the law from the unknown. Doctrines about past lives are rejected in favour of living the law now. Even in great realisation, one must contain oneself because 'tomorrow always comes.'
