1933- One Minute Wisdom, Tony De Mellow

DEPTH
Said the Master to the businessman;
“As the fish perishes on dry land, so you perish when you get entangled in the world. The fish must return to the water — you must return to solitude.”
The businessman was aghast.
 “Must I give up my business and go into a monastery?”
“No. no. Hold on to your business and go into your heart. ”

ILLUSION
“How shall I attain Eternal Life?”
“Eternal Life is now. Come into the present.”
“But I am in the present now, am I not?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because you haven’t dropped your past.”
“Why should I drop my past? Not all of it is bad.”
“The past is to be dropped not because it is bad but because it is dead.”
