collect and keep happy experiences

natural mystic

 

The ideal of a mystic

is never to think of disagreeable things.

What one does not want to happen one should not

think about. A mystic erases from his mind all the disagreeable

things of the past. He collects and keeps his happy experiences, and

out of them, he makes a paradise. Are there not many unhappy

people who keep part of the past before them, causing

them pain in their heart? Past is past; it is gone.

There is eternity before us.
