“Just understand, don`t choose - don`t choose even choicelessness. Simply understand the whole situation: that whatsoever you choose, whatsoever you do, will come out of the calculating mind.

Nothing has to be done, just a look is needed - a look without any prejudice, a look without any choice, a look without any distinctions.”
