I was told by some doctors that they had created a word for terminal patients. I wonder which doctor can assume that he himself may not terminate the next minute. Collect the statistics all over the world of all those who were considered well and healthy by all, and who were declared dead singly or in groups within a few hours of their certificates of health. To be scientific and statistically oriented means to be scientific and statistical to the limit permitted by medical scientists.
The doctor is already post-mortem oriented. Now, if he can also claim to be an expert in ante-mortem rites.
The doctor who is on the look-out for the expression of the surge of life and spirit in the faces of his clients and wishes to help it on, must, first of all himself, face the fact of death, and see its meaning for life, and its nature as the most deadly collective conditioned reflex, and not the basic, unalterable law of life or evolution. A present fact cannot be elevated to the pedestal of eternal law.
In the present 'FACT' of society, every human being is terminal.
11. Everything that has an operational consequence for you and your body is a fact for you. The reality for you is what the fact does to you and what you do with the fact. This is more of consequence to you than whether the fact is real or unreal according to some famous or infamous X or Y.
12. When a shopkeeper deceives you, he robs you of more than your money: your peace of mind, your sleep and so on. Guard yourself against this other robbery under the counter, for it is more damaging to you. Only after you have secured your inner treasure can you safely afford to hit him or go to the court.
13. A guru is not always a person. Your real guru is your necessity to learn something and the occasion that provides the lesson.
14. Science books and scriptural texts are both very useful. They provide quotations as stones to fling at others who disagree with you. They also provide quotations too to justify you in your customary stupidities.
The person who feels the need to personally verify for himself the truth of these quotations is a freak fit to be worshiped and further quoted or a rebel to be crucified or a crank to be ignored or a madman to be shut in.
15. A man has two headaches: one is the headache itself, and the other is searching for causes of headache. The latter makes the headache more interesting, and you will scientifically fulfill all medical prophesies including the postmortem findings.
16. There is a world of difference between saying 'I want to be a doctor', and saying, 'I want to learn how to be a doctor'.
17. When I say 'I', it is really not one, but a bag of possibilities, each with its own 'I' clamouring for recognition. 'I' am a frictious collective of all that ever happened from amoeba to man, and the aspiration to exceed 'man. It is, perhaps, better to use the royal plural, 'We' till such time as a man can truthfully use the first person singular 'I'.
18. I become the mirror image of what I hate most.
19. Man behaves as if the laws of physics do not apply to himself for he is the discoverer of the laws of physics.
He also discovers laws of nature just sufficient to meet his convenience.
20. It is said that the world is in a chaos. Man trying to manipulate the constantly changing universe to the conditions necessary to maintain himself as 'man' can both be the cause and effect. In its own way, the dinosaur made similar attempts.
21. If you see how your mind is kicking you right now you are halfway to discovering the powers of your mind.
22. The dialectic unit of Form facilitating function and also limiting the function, function in its very operation bending and breaking the limits of the form and forcing it to change; change of form to suit a wider or sometimes a qualitatively new function - such is the process.
Man has the fatal illusion that because he 'discovered!' laws of evolution, there is no evolution beyond himself and his tremendous capacity to colonise Mars and start night-clubs, and establish a democratic form of government with Sunday church added to the list of facilities.
23. If you yourself do not feel the necessity for modifying your behaviour, then the only ones capable of doing something to you are the policeman or God.
24. BE at each moment with the whole of your Being exactly what you wish to BE.
25. The desire to advise others on what and how to be or do is the most obstinate and perverse desire and hardly absent even in the man about to depart - note the spate of last wishes and testaments!
This book is a good example of this malady! May the Gods forgive!
