Monks used to keep skulls on their desks And people nowadays think that Was very morbid everything's falling apart So don’t try and stop it When you're falling off the precipice It doesn't do you any good do hang Onto a rock that's falling with you But everything is doing that So, again this is another case of Our completely wasting our energy In trying to prevent the World from falling apart Don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it And then you'll be able to do something Interesting with the free energy With the free energy With the free energy When the Hindu says, "Everything is unreal" The Westerner reacts and says "No- no we can't treat life as a dream It's serious it's real it's for real" "What do you mean by that?" "What do you mean by that?" "How real do you want it to be?" This is in other words Everything insofar as it’s falling Apart everything is changing It is like smoke And we all feel that smoke has a Lesser degree of reality than wood It's an image of the evanescent Of the ghostly so, it’s this idea the whole World is this mirage That doesn’t mean it's a bad thing It's only bad if you cling to it If you try to lean on it But if you don't lean on it It's a grand illusion So, the word Maya and that Means not only illusion but it means art It means magic and it means creative power So, this is the big act Don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it And then you'll be able to do something Interesting with the free energy With the free energy With the free energy And uh it's perhaps Easier to feel the world in that Way in a tropical country where Death is very common And where you just watch things Dissolve before your eyes And yet burst out and grow again The whole world is changing Maybe easier to think that way Than in our environment Although when you're out in California The human landscape changes so fast That no town is the same for two years Any mailing list that you have changes One-third addresses per annual Nothing stays put The hills are shadows and they flow from Form to form and nothing stands
