I want to know what I am - let's begin very simply. I can't look in my mirror. My mirror tells me what I look like outside. Right? But that mirror can't tell me what is inside, what are my thoughts, what are my feelings. Right? Now is there another mirror in which I can see myself very clearly? You wanted to talk about relationship. Don't you see yourself very clearly in your relationship? How you react, what are your responses, in what way you show your prejudices, the weight of your opinions - right? - of like and dislike, of reward and punishment? You follow? You begin to observe slowly, bit by bit, in the mirror of relationship. Right? Are you doing that as I am talking to you?

You and I are related because you have seen me several times here, we have walked together, had somewhat of a discussion together, and in that discussion, in that walk, in listening to that music - you listened much more than I did - there was a certain relationship. Right? In that relationship, which is a mirror, and you can observe yourself, your reactions, all that. Can you? Will you?
