The Dharma is only a collection of words and letters that has to be discarded when we have reached the other shore. The work of the steward–repeated efforts be present–produces a certain quantity of fine energy, and this leads to increased moments of presence. Because one does not even realize how it constantly catches one. My teacher tells us that the hardest thing is to come out of imagination. We have all experienced these moments when, out of nowhere, we become present. The more efforts you make, the more you have these ‘accidental’ moments of self-remembering, of understanding, of being emotional and things like that. But if you hadn’t made efforts it wouldn’t come accidentally. This state comes as a result of your efforts, previous efforts, only it comes not at that time.

At the beginning, the “household” of ten thousand chaotic ‘I’s is governed by the law of accident. The work of the steward is to prepare the household for the master.
