    What I am saying is to let existence be as it is!
    Please don't try to change it -- nobody has ever
    been able to change anything; change is one of
    the greatest illusions. The day you accept things
    as they are, you have become mature. It is
    simply childish to try to change them.

    People recognise it, but very late -- when the
    whole life has gone and they have wasted their
    whole life fighting and trying to change. When
    they are just going to die or just a few years are
    left, then they start recognising that nothing has
    happened, they have not been able to change
    anything.

    Only one thing has happened: trying to change
    they have wasted their life. They could have
    lived! Only people who don't want to change
    things are capable of living -- you cannot do
    both together.

    So make the best of it; whatsoever is available is
    available. This is the only world -- there is no
    other world -- and this moment's reality is this
    moment's reality.

    What is, is, and what ain't, ain't!

    Relax into it, accept it. Don't say that the mind
    goes astray. How can the mind go astray?
    Wherever it goes, it's okay, and whatsoever
    happens is good; that's how the whole is willing
    it to happen. Who are we to fight with it and how
    can we hope to succeed against the whole? The
    part cannot succeed against the whole.

    There is no goal and there is nowhere else to
    go -- this is it!
