So you see, when you ask
"How do I attain the knowledge of God?
How do I attain nirvana, liberation?"
All I can say is, "That's the wrong question."
Why do you want to attain it?
Because the very fact that you're wanting to attain it
Is the only thing that prevents you from getting there
If you're not awake it shows you don't want to be
That's your game, that's your life game
That's what makes you think you're an ego
You're still, as it were, the self
Pretending it's not the self
And when you want to wake up, you will
Just like that
