What is your correct direction? Do you have one? You must show me! If you don’t understand, throw away all your books! I ask you, what are you? When you were born, where did you come from? When you die, where will you go? What is your name? How old are you?

These are all simple questions. Maybe you say, “My name is Robert.” That is your body’s name. What is your true self’s name? Perhaps you say, “I am thirty-five years old.” But that is your body’s age. What is your true age? Tell me, tell me! If you don’t understand, only go straight—don’t know

Don’t check your feelings; don’t check your mind; don’t check your understanding.
