... spinster died, and her two old friends went to a stone mason to have a gravestone made. "And what message would you like to have on the stone?" asked the mason.

... black stone have become the idol. Now people go to Kaaba for HAJJ, for pilgrimage. Poor people gather money their whole lives to go just once to kiss that black stone. Now what is it?

Perfectionism will say 'no anger'. In fact...
... said, 'I would like to serve humanity.' Gurdjieff looked at him and laughed. And he said, 'But where are you? I don't see you anywhere. I am sorry to say it to you but you don't exist! Who is going to serve humanity?' A similar case is reported in Buddhist scriptures. A man came to Buddha and said, 'I have much money. I have much power.' He was one of the richest men of those days. And he said, 'Just...

...-called thoughts, by 'thought' they mean thought-energy purified of desire. If it is purified of desire and all desire has disappeared, then there is no need to go out, because you go out only because you are desirous of something.
