Is immortality to be gained, to be acquired? No, it is to be discovered. One has only to make one's vision keener, in other words, to explore one's self; but that is the last thing one does. People are most pleased to explore the tomb of Tut-ank-Amen in Egypt, in order to find mysteries, regardless of the mystery hidden in their own heart. Tell them about any mystery existing outside themselves: they are delighted to explore it. But when you tell them to see in themselves, they think it is too simple; they think, "I know myself. I am a mortal being. I don't want to die, but death awaits me." Difficulties they make; complexities they raise by their own complex intelligence. They do not like the straight way; they like the zigzag way; they enjoy puzzles. Even if there is a door before them, they say, "No, I do not look for it." If a door opens before them, they do not wish to go out by that door; they prefer to be in the puzzle. It is a greater joy not to be able to find the door for a long time. One who is thus enjoying the puzzle, is horrified when he sees the way out.
