If you break the shell of your personality, you will become just a presence as life is,

as divine is, just a presence.

If it's just a presence, persona or personality is something that you put on to conduct activity

in the world to go through social situations.

It's like you want to walk in the garden, to wear your shoes, you come home, you take

off your shoes.

For some people who go to bed, which shoes on, that's their problem.

This is the same thing that's happening to a whole lot of people.

The personality that they put on to transact with the world has gotten stuck to them in

such a way that they cannot keep it aside.

This is something that you have to learn to do, all that you have created in the form

of your personality, which is an accumulation of memory, which is an accumulation of past

experiences of life.

You must be able to keep it aside.

This is what holy is about, to burn it.

Well, if you cannot burn it, if you think it's valuable, at least you must learn to keep

it aside.

Try this, at least for a period of time every day, start with minutes and go into hours

that you actually sit here without any sense of personality, just sitting in one place,

without any sense of personality, just as a presence.

Because life is a presence.

If you do not feel that presence, then you miss life.
