Live, but don’t make your life a demonstration. All such demonstrations are lies. Live, but don’t make your life a demonstration. Live, but don’t become a showman. Don’t allow showmanship – there is no need. What others say is useless, irrelevant; what you are is the only relevant thing. Live according to your nature. Whatsoever others think about you is their problem, you need not worry about it. Don’t make your life a piece of showmanship. Once you start there is no end to it, then you will always be making yourself false, and if people pay respect to a falsity, you will become false. If they think that it is good and respectable you will do a thing even when there is no natural reason.
If you want to become a painter and this is an unconscious desire, become a painter and remain poor. Don’t become a doctor and become rich…
Fulfillment comes through nature – not through society. You carry your destiny within yourself but it is an unconscious thing. Follow it. Nobody else will know that you have reached but you will be aware…
