When you introduce the time element, that is, ‘I will change gradually,’ you don’t change at all. The gradual process is a form of resistance because you have introduced an idea, an idea which has no reality. What has reality is that you are angry, you are vicious, you are ambitious, envious, acquisitive – those are facts. Now, to look at them and to be free of them immediately is all-important. You can change them immediately when you have no idea, when you have no ideals, but are capable of looking at them.
