“The harder you try to change yourself the worse it gets. You are called upon to be aware.”
Anthony de Mello (1931–1987) Indian writer
"Hidden Agenda" p. 145

Context: Before enlightenment, I used to be depressed; after enlightenment, I continue to be depressed. You don't make a goal out of relaxation and sensitivity. Have you ever heard of people who get tense trying to relax? If one is tense, one simply observes one's tension. You will never understand yourself if you seek to change yourself. The harder you try to change yourself the worse it gets. You are called upon to be aware.
“Once you understand what money can do it gets harder to live without it.”
