My Universe

You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.

“So the universe is not quite as you thought it was. You’d better rearrange your beliefs, then. Because you certainly can’t rearrange the universe.”

Man is a ladder between heaven and hell. That's why it is only human beings who repress, who manipulate, who kill, who try to conquer the natural flow of nature. Only human beings are stupid — and that is because they can be buddhas. Because human beings have intelligence, that's why they can be stupid. Stupidity does not mean the absence of intelligence, it simply means you have not used it. If there is no presence of intelligence you cannot call human beings stupid. You cannot call a rock stupid — a rock is a rock, there is no question of stupidity. But you can call humans stupid because with humans there is hope, a ray of great light. With the human being, a door opens toward the beyond. Man can transcend himself and he is not doing it — that's his stupidity. He can grow, and he is not growing, he is clinging to all kinds of immaturity — that is his stupidity. He goes on and on living in the past, which is no more — that is his stupidity. Or he starts projecting into the future, which is not yet — that is his stupidity.
