Existence can help you if you ask.

It only helps you if you ask.

If you don't ask, it remains aloof, it does not interfere. But if you ask, if you open up, existence starts pouring into you. And then the part has as much energy as the whole. It depends on how much you open up: if you open up totally, then the part is the whole, then a man is as magical as the whole.

That is the whole secret of prayer.

Asking help from existence.

And you are going on a really dangerous journey, hazardous.

There are many pitfalls.

And the higher you move, the more hazardous the journey becomes.

Because if you fall...

you will be lost for ever.
