At present, a part of the mind is trying to capture the whole, is it not? One part is struggling against another part, one desire against another desire. The hidden mind is in conflict with the open; violence is attempting to become non-violent. Frustration is followed by hope, fulfilment and another frustration. That is all we know. There is the ceaseless pursuit of fulfilment, in whose very shadow is frustration, so we never know or experience wholeness of being. The body is against feeling; feeling is against thought; thought is pursuing the what should be, the ideal. We are broken up into fragments, and by bringing the various fragments together, we hope to make the whole. Is it ever possible to do this? This feeling of the totality of your being, of your body, mind and heart, is not the bringing together of all these fragments. You cannot make contradictory desires into a harmonious whole. To attempt to do so is an act of the mind, and the mind itself is only a part. A part cannot create the whole.

Šiuo metu viena proto dalis bando aprėpti visumą, ar ne? Viena dalis kovoja su kita dalimi, vienas troškimas – su kitu troškimu. Paslėptas protas konfliktuoja su atviru; smurtas bando tapti nesmurtingu. Po nusivylimo seka viltis, išsipildymas ir dar vienas nusivylimas. Tai viskas, ką žinome. Yra nesibaigiantis siekis pasitenkinimo, kurio pačioje šešėlyje slypi nusivylimas, todėl mes niekada nežinome ir nepatiriame būties visumos. Kūnas priešinasi jausmams; jausmai priešinasi mintims; mintys siekia to, kas turėtų būti, idealo. Esame suskaidyti į fragmentus, ir sujungdami įvairius fragmentus, tikimės sukurti visumą. Ar tai kada nors įmanoma? Šis jūsų būties, jūsų kūno, proto ir širdies visumos jausmas nėra visų šių fragmentų sujungimas. Negalite paversti prieštaringų troškimų harmoninga visuma. Bandymas tai padaryti yra proto veiksmas, o pats protas yra tik dalis. Dalis negali sukurti visumos.
