THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HURTING - THERE IS HURTING. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BREAKING - THERE IS BREAKING. There is no such thing as injuring - there is only getting injured. It is not possible for a flexible and calm person who stands at the center - who does not get involved in someone else's war - to be hurt or injured. The more a person turns into a strong, tough and strict warrior in order to avoid being hurt, the more he gets hurt. Protective shields make people more vulnerable. You get your real power from the flexibility in your center, not from the armor you acquire from outside. So where is the center? This book was not written for people searching for themselves. It was written for people who lost their center. It was written not to go outside and search, but to go inside and find. One cannot find one's center outside - the center is within - when you decide to find it, you go back and rediscover it. For a person who is not at the center, there is no chaos - no anxiety - no helplessness - no insecurity - inadequacy and fear.
