strings: regeneration is to-day, not to-morrow. If you will experiment with what I have been saying, you will find that there is immediate regeneration, a newness, a quality of freshness ; because the mind is always still when it is interested, when it desires or has the intention to understand. The diffculty with most of us is that we have not the intention to understand, because we are afraid that, if we understood, it might bring about a revolutionary action in our life and therefore we resist, It is the defence mechanism that is at work when we use time or an ideal as a means of gradual transformation.
