Talks from Tamborine Mountain 1987 - January
The human brain seeks understanding, yet understanding belongs to the world and leads only to more questions. Truth, love, God and life cannot be understood; they must be be. Relationships afflict until the impulse to understand is surrendered.
'You cannot understand your life. You cannot understand your relationships. You cannot understand love. You cannot understand God.'
'Give up trying to understand.'
'Every relationship is passing. It cannot last.'
