« Where the finite meets the infinite | Main | Make your stairway to heaven »

Remember when you were learning how to ride a bike? And you were told, "Pedal, pedal, pedal. Look straight ahead." Did anybody talk to you about that feeling when it clicks?
It's a weird process because who do you doubt first? Yourself? Never. The first person in the line of fire, the first person to be doubted, is the person who is saying, "Pedal, pedal, pedal." "This guy doesn't know. Have you done this before? Have you taught somebody before? By the way, can you ride a bike?"
And then, one day, you learn how to ride the bike. And all of a sudden, you have a new understanding, which is not about pedaling. Neither is it about looking straight ahead. But it is something else, and nobody told you. And you found it all by yourself. Because the process, you realize, is of acceptance. The process is simple. You accept it. Any one of those doubts and frustrations could have stopped you.
What about life? What about Knowledge? Is there an acceptance? Is there an understanding? To go on, to move. The Master says, "Go within, and accept." And you go, "I wonder if he knows what he's talking about. Oh, my God, does he know about my problems? Does he know about all the things I have to put up with? All I hear him say is, 'Go within, and accept.'"
Because that is all there is.
