Man wants progress, and progress means an ascension, an elevation. It is as if man wants to be elevated to some high sky. That’s what you say, right? “I am rising up, I am progressing.” What is the intention of this tendency to keep progressing? The intention is to progress and arise and arise and arise, and then just disappear in the sky.
Man wants to rise up and away from all bondages. That is why he builds, that is why he invents, that is why he writes and sings, and that is why he worships. Move so further up, move so high up that you lose almost all connection with gravitation, that you lose your bondages and the compulsion to be bounded to the earth. That alone is gravitation.
