Talk given in Liverpool, UK, circa 1960s.
Existence is governed by cyclic law.
We are born, we live, we die.
The sun rises, the sun sets.
The seasons progress.
"If you try to hold an idea in your mind you will find that this idea will disappear very shortly. If you think it has gone forever you may become depressed. If you know cyclic law you can expect to see it again later."
"There is an old Chinese saying that says 'if it is winter think about summer, if it is spring think about autumn'. Now this is a kind of trick, a psychological device, to help you to conquer cyclic law."
However, attempting to do this for a period of time results in tiring. When tired, we lapse and forget.
Rather than becoming depressed about what we feel is an apparent lack of progress, we must remember that we are not training for time; we are using time to train for eternity.
