Aren't you in awe when you contemplate the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure behind reality?

Or is it that we are obliged to use language only in order to obscure and distort reality -- to distort what happens -- because we fear it?

Do you want a sign that you're asleep? Here it is: you're suffering. Suffering is a sign that you're out of touch with the truth. Suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there's falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere.
