Eric Baret - A bottomless bag



 One day, you will see deeply that everything you need to do will tire you. You're going to be too tired to do anything, including being light, including being sad. You will see that all this is an activity that comes only when you claim to have a story, have a past and have a future. We can see all of this as a concept. It is a maturation that does not depend on any doing and that does not depend on time. So the word maturation is wrong. Avoid wanting to understand it, because you can not you can only understand that in time and that's wrong; maturation is in the moment. You are doomed to this maturation. The only postponement possible is to try to be mature, by thought, by action, or by emotion. That's a bottomless bag. You will be wiser every day, more free every day: it is a constant misery. You are constantly adjourning the essential.

At some point, you no longer seek to be less this and more that, to be without fear, to be without desire: you seek nothing. This can be called a form of respect, a respect for the reality, for what is there in the moment. It's respect for the essential. The essential is not something that is hidden behind the appereance - these are beautiful Indian stories -
the essential is what is there, it is what you feel in the moment. There is nothing else than that. There is nothing to understand, there is simply nothing. That's what is reflected as lightness that
apparently arises when the situations suit your ideology and which apparently disappears when the situations do not correspond to your plan for the humanity. At one time
you stop taking yourself for God and want to solve the problems of humanity - or yours, because it's the same. It's a story in both cases.
