Placing thoughts
What, then, is the practical answer to the practical problem set by the Sages—the problem of how to stop one’s thinking in order to become Enlightened?
Instead of stopping thought, I have only to place it—out there in its own place. Instead of rejecting thoughts, I have only to authorize them—where they are perfectly in order. Instead of making enormous efforts to improve the situation, I have only to see that it is all right, and everything is already achieved. No thought can ever come quite home, or penetrate this clear country. All I must do, then, is stay at Home. And this is so easy once I see what this wonderful Home is like. It takes no practice to be a real Home-lover.
