Transcending Thought
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are written in a foreign tongue.
Do not now seek the answers, which cannot yet be given you because you would not yet be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
What consciousness really is
If one reflects upon what consciousness really is, one is deeply impressed by the fact that an event which occurs within the cosmos produces simultaneously an inner image, thus it also speaks within: in other words, it becomes conscious.
