Guest guest Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Since so few are ready to deny the ego, and fewer still able to do so, it generally works out that only when all their props and supports are knocked away from under them by events outside their control will any of them abandon their dependence on their ego and their belief that man can completely control his own life. Then, in utter helplessness, they will cry out and then only illumination becomes possible. But the catastrophe which can bring this about may have to be a formidable one, formidable enough to make its sufferes feel their utter powerlessness and insignificance. Some people are stricken with fear for their future while others may even be filled with suicidal thoughts through the feeling that there is no way out of the problem.
