[OceanofDharma] Quotes of the Week: Realizing Chaos

Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

REALIZING CHAOS

No one can save us from the state of chaos or samsara unless we understand the meaning of chaos and confusion, unless we have experienced it and suffered from it. Otherwise, although we may be in the midst of chaos, we don't notice it. You don't begin to notice chaos until you are already on the path. Then you begin to feel uncomfortable. You feel that something is a nuisance. Something's bugging you constantly. You realize the chaos when you are already making the journey.

From "The Fourth Moment,"  in THE SHAMBHALA SUN, March 2006, page 46
