CASH ON CASH: Is This A Commercial/Investment Or Residential Engagement?

PRACTICE

Only to the extent that you expose yourself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within you. In this lies the dignity of daring.

Thus, the aim of practice is not to develop an attitude which allows you to acquire a state of harmony and peace wherein nothing can ever trouble you. On the contrary, practice should teach you to let yourself be assaulted, perterbed, moved, insulted, broken and battered -- that is to say, it should enable you to dare to let go of your futile hankering after harmony, relief from pain, and a comfortable life in order that you may discover, in doing battle with the forces that oppose you, that which awaits you beyond the world of opposites.

The first necessity is that you should have the courage to face life, and to encounter all that is most perilous in the world.

Only if you venture repeatedly through zones of annihilation, can your contact with something greater, which is beyond annihilation, become firm and stable.
