ASK THE MASTERS

QUESTION: I love the idea of living in a world without storms, but given how much turmoil and trouble there seems to be every-where, including in ourselves, where do we find such an elevated state of self?

ANSWER: Peace of mind produces right values, right values produce right thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions, and right actions produce work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at the center of it all.

—Robert M. Pirsig

QUESTION: Why do so many wisdom teachings stress the idea of inner work to cultivate self-watchfulness? I want to be free of my fears, but to tell you the truth, the whole idea of seeing myself as I am scares me. Is there no other way?

ANSWER: The shell must be cracked apart if what is in it is to come out, for if you want the kernel you must break the shell. And therefore if you want to discover nature's nakedness you must destroy its symbols, and the farther you get in the nearer you come to its essence. When you come to the One that gathers all things up into itself, there you must stay.

—Meister Eckhart
