“As long as we have some definite idea about or some hope in the future, we cannot really be serious with the moment that exists right now. You may say, ''I can do it tomorrow, or next year,'' beleiving that something that exists today will exist tomorrow. Even though you are not trying so hard, you expect that some promising thing will come, as long as you follow a certain way. But there is no certain way that exists permanently. There is no way set up for us. Moment after moment we have to find our own way. Some idea of perfection, or some perfect way which is set up by someone else, is not the true way for us.”
