Ignorance is not the absence of learning but the confusion and conflict of values.

- MMB's Beyond the Himalayas

"Are you confused Abbot? Wondering what is right and what is wrong? Then you are caught up in the conflict of ideas in your mind. You are an imitator, Abbot; you are trying to mould yourself after a pattern and you have created an image of what you think Reality should be, and you are carefully fashioning yourself after it, thereby losing the substance- Reality Itself....

Life is Real; It is complete in Itself, expressing Itself freely when you yourself become nothing. The self lives in separation, you see yourself separate from others; that is but an illusion, for there is but "One" Life in which there is no division. Thus, you see, division is an illusion of the mind, my son.
