Chapter 159

My Head Hurts

...You wrote that from attention your head even aches. Yes, if you work only with your head; but when you descend into the heart, there will be no labor, the head will empty and thoughts will end... If you find the heart and are able to stand in it, then whenever thoughts begin to trouble you, you only need to descend into the heart—and the thoughts will scatter. This will be a cozy corner, a safe haven. Do not be lazy to descend... Life is in the heart; there you must live. Do not think that this is the work of the perfect. No. This is the work of all who begin to seek the Lord.
