False completeness will not allow you to look even into the world

I don’t know what’s worse, incompleteness or false completeness?

In the eyes of the person who is falsely complete, you would never find wonderment. You know what is wonderment? When you come upon something new! He would always look at you as if he already knows you, “Ha! I know.” Because within himself, he is possessed by the thought that he knows all.

He is a Master of his kingdom, the God of his territory. His eyes can measure but never worship. In fact, he knows no sacredness, for him nothing is sacred. That is one quality of the man complete within himself. He knows no sacredness. He has no feeling for the beyond. He can utilize everything. Instead of a four-session series, it has become a five-session series — incompleteness, defeat, shame, lifelessness, false completeness.

Incompleteness now appears almost a virtue. Incompleteness, at least makes you look into the world, if not into yourself.

False completeness will not allow you to look even into the world. You are your own world. You will have no liking for facts. You will have no interest in what’s going around.

Why do you need to know about what’s happening in Europe or America, or in Amazon’s jungles? When you are so complete and comfortable within yourself, why do you…
