Talks from Tamborine Mountain, 1988, October
The talk opens in living nature and moves straight to freedom: accept yourself without action or reaction, and the energy for real change appears. From there, it exposes everyday lying, clarifies the sacred versus the merely secret, and sets a radical order for relationship and service. It closes by confronting the false gods of food and money, and by urging surrender beyond competition into simple doing of one’s best.
“Freedom begins by facing up and accepting yourself as you are, where you are, now.”
“There must be no action and no reaction, just the seeing of the fact.”
“Every association that you are involved in is sacred.”
