Being and becoming

Only when we realize through the Inner Witness that we are dependent on what we encounter in life, of what is happening in our physical body, are we ready to make efforts to build something permanent and independent as our identity: A soul that is free from the tides of transience. A soul, which is no longer trapped in the reaction patterns of the past but participates in the present in the creation and participates creatively. A soul that does not automatically open and run a computer program at every "mouse click". A soul that is free of life–and–death, who can create meaningful things out of freedom, from every impulse. Is not that the freedom for which a deep yearning awaits realization in us?
