First know that desire is just running and reaching nowhere

First know that desire is just running and reaching nowhere. Then stand still, and know what is. Everything is open. Only we are closed in our desires. The whole existence is open. All doors are open, but we are running with such a speed that we cannot see. And the more we become frustrated, the more we increase the speed, because the mind says, “You are not running fast enough. That is why you are not reaching.” The mind will not say, “Because you are running, you will not reach.”

How can it say that? It is illogical. The mind says, “Because you are not running fast enough, that is why you are not reaching. So run faster. Those who are running faster, they are reaching.” And ask those who are running faster. Their minds are saying the same thing: “Run faster still. Those who are really running, they are reaching.”
