Comment: One day a disciple asked his master: “How long do we wait for changes for the better?” “If you wait, it will take a long time,” the master replied.
We always have two possibilities: either to wait for a change for the better, or to not wait and to act. We see today that actions lead mainly to hatred, to a desire to change others. This is called action. I have a feeling that it is better not to act.
My Response: Actually, yes.
Question: What do you think is the right approach?
Answer: The right approach is to consciously dissolve in nature. Nature is the Creator. As much as we agree with this nature, with how it flows and what it does, it is much easier for us to accept the truth.
Question: So are you in favor of accepting?
Answer: What can you do?
Comment: Be proactive somehow. Here the wise man said: “Act.”
My Response: No, there is no point.
Question: So for you, the action is to accept what is happening? Can this be called an action?
Answer: Of course, you are working on yourself.
Question: Is it something active?
Answer: Of course. You force yourself to accept nature, or the Creator, as the only objective force of reality that exists.
Question: So I justify what is happening to me?
Answer: Of course, and everything around you.
Question: This is clearly a fantasy, but if everyone acted this way—politicians, scientists, what would happen? What would everything turn into?
Answer: Everything would be good and quiet. We would agree with the course of our lives and would calmly observe it.
Question: What about science, medicine, technology, and technological progress?
Answer: These too are given to us to gradually master and realize that none of them will change anything in the end.
Question: What is action and non-action? What is an action in agreement with what is happening?
Answer: This means that I fully trust the Creator and do not want to change anything according to my mind. I do not want to run ahead of what is happening. In general, I am not interested in any problems or any states. I am interested in involving myself in this and going with the flow. Not because I am lazy, but because I do not want to interfere in what is happening with my brains or my strength.
Question: The master was asked: “How long do we wait for changes for the better?” He replied: “If you wait, it will take a long time.” How would you answer? Or how would you comment on it?
How long do we wait for changes for the better?
Answer: There is no need to wait. The best is what is now. As you change yourself, your perception will change accordingly. Take everything philosophically.
