You only appear to be conscious.
Your consciousness is very fragile, it is very momentary.
It is a very thin surface -- it is not even skin-deep --
just a little scratch and you lose your consciousness.
Somebody insults you; just a word, or just a glance,
and all your consciousness is gone
and you are a rage, anger, violence, aggression.
In a moment your humanity disappears,
you are again wild, again an animal.
And man can fall below the animals,
because when he falls there is nothing to stop him.
Man can rise above the angels,
but it rarely happens
because to rise above the angels is an uphill task, arduous.
One has to work for it.
It needs hard work, it needs guts, courage, to explore the unknown.
Millions of people are born and die,
but they never live.
Their life is only apparent,
because they remain rooted in unconsciousness.
And whatsoever you do on the surface
may not be true about you at all;
in fact, exactly the opposite is the case.
Амин.
