The teacher’s role is to show that a teacher is not needed. That is the rightful role of the teacher. I repeat, the teacher’s role is to show that you are unnecessarily coming to the teacher. You are self-sufficient.

Look at the way the world is—violent, chaotic, anarchic. Every thought is a disturbance. Peace is when thoughts are not there, not needed. Surely it is a problem, but it is also the solution. The mind is both: the prison and the freedom. Your doors open exactly from there. You need not go anywhere else. There is a self-correcting mechanism surely in place.
