Direct Truth: Uncompromising, non-prescriptive Truths to the enduring questions of life

The government that forces him to give is a criminal enterprise.

A: Man is lazy and undisciplined for the things that do not move him. He is motivated and voracious for the things that inspire him.

Discipline is an attempt to force oneself to do that which he fundamentally does not wish to do.

But in order to achieve, one needs discipline. A: It is far more fruitful to evaluate the desires for achievement, than it is to force discipline. If one’s desire for achievement is pure, he will be sufficiently motivated to do all that needs to be done in order to achieve. If it is not, he will play clever and ineffective games such as discipline.

Forcing oneself is short-lived. As all things that are insincere are short-lived. If one is honest and sincere about his motivations, he will move with himself, instead of against himself.

One may have the mind or he may have the moment. He cannot have both.

The greatest change arises from inspiration.

To guide people along the true path without them feeling your hand, is true guidance. To speak to them in such a way that they do not feel instructed, is true speech. To keep them in your orbit so that you may watch over them, without them feeling the slightest loss of freedom, is true caring. To invest in them the Truths that will keep them safe and successful in their journey of life, while surrendering the need to take ownership of these ideas so that they may take ownership of them, is wisdom and dispassion. These, and other secrets like it, is what the Master devotes his life to. It is this that he lives for.
