The secret of the world is this: the world is entirely circular and you will go round and round endlessly, never finding what you want, unless you have found what you really want inside yourself. When you follow a star you know you will never reach that star; rather it will guide you to where you want to go. Its a reference point, not an end in itself, even though you seem to be following it. So it is with the world. It will only ever lead you back to yourself. The end of all your exploring will be to cease from exploration and know the place for the first time.
The work that lasts over time is the work which still speaks to us when all contemporary interest in that work is extinct.
When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.
