It's by your own actions you're able to get more in a mess or out of one. It's your own actions that relieve or bind you.

The Lord is in everything that's in creation. So, when you look at a tree, it's really a reflection of God. You see it in other people - that's him too, you know?
George Harrison

All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call.
George Harrison
Image
Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change, and to see you're only very small and life flows on within you and without you.
George Harrison

No-one knows what I do in my private, spare time, so I don't see why anyone would assume I'm celibate or somehow turning into a Garboesque character.

If you drop out you put yourself further away from the goal of life than if you were to keep working.

When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.

Now it may seem so far from where we all are It's something we can't neglect It's something I can't neglect Now won't you give some bread to get the starving fed

The Guru and Disciple relationship is where the person has a 100% belief in the Guru and that way you put your trust in the Guru, that he's going to get you out of this mess. If you are a Christian, then Christ is your Guru, and they're all disciples of Christ.
