Something else you should understand, there is absolutely nothing wrong in the whole universe. Always remember this. No matter what appears, wars, man's inhumanity to man, earthquakes, cataclysms, there is nothing wrong. It sounds so strange to a beginner who has never heard anything like this before. And even for an advanced student it sounds sort of strange because you say, "Well I see all these things happening before me and how can this not be true? I see murders, rapes, man's inhumanity to man wherever I look." Who is doing the looking? Who is the looker? That is what you always must ask yourself, "Who sees this? Who is the looker?" And of course you will say, "I am." Then you'll start laughing because from practice you will see, I sees all these things going on in the world. I is the ego, the I-thought, not you! You are the divine reality. But it is the I-thought who sees all these things, who observes all these things. Wants to come to conclusions, wants answers, for what? You will always be doing the same thing, looking, judging, comparing, when you finish with one thing, something else will pop up somewhere else, it never ends, if it is not this, it's that. It is like a tumor on your arm that the doctor cuts out and it grows somewhere else. When the doctor cuts that out and it grows somewhere else, it keeps appearing all over your body, because the doctor never got rid of the source, the source of the tumor. So it is with us. (RA)
