There is that angle of thought that all illness comes from the mind. There is much truth in that, yet, in terms of day to day life, it is not so clear nor must it be, beloveds. There is more to illness than meets the eye. There is more to everything than meets the eye.

I have told you to disengage yourself from thinking about cause. There is the sense in which there is no cause. Consider, if there is no past, there can be no cause. When there is no prior, how can there be an after? There is simply whatever is right now.

Discouragement is not honorable. There is no value in it. Dwelling on the downside of life is not commendable. Anyone can do that. It is done all the time. The newspapers do it every day. No one has to prove that life as it is experienced in the world has its flaws. It has already been proven in all the history books. The question is: Does the world have to stay flawed? Must the hurts and injustice be infinite? Must they be perpetuated? Even if everyone is sure that grievous flaws always were and will always be, what profit is there in thinking that?
