A common space for harmonic peacemakers

"Silence of the Heart"

As long as you are born of the flesh you have to suffer. This is the way of the flesh.
Do not try to improve your life. You're making a big mistake. For there is no question about it, if you use positive thinking and use your mind, you may appear to improve your life. But remember, this world in which you live is a world of duality. For every up, there is a down. For every forward, there is a backward. For every good there is a bad.
Therefore, whatever improvement comes in your life, it will last for a while, then will subside, then you become miserable again. Then you will be happy again when you get what you want, and then that will not last, and you will be miserable again. You'll start sticking up for your rights and fighting for your survival. Then as you get what you want, you'll be happy again. You're like a yo-yo. You go up and down, up and down. And no matter how much I talk to you about this, you're going to keep on doing this.
So why am I talking? I don't know. I have no choice.
You know, I never asked to do this. Strange how things turn out...Too late now.
All I know is that all is well, and everything is unfolding as it should. All I know is, that happiness is your true nature.
That you are not what you appear to be, and things are not what they appear to be. Nothing can ever happen to you.
Why do you worry so much?
What are you afraid of Your life?
You have no life.
What you call your life is nothing.
It doesn't exist.
It's no thing.
You worry about your hair falling out. Worried about needing a new pair of shoes. You're getting fat. What a waste of energy. Like feeding a dead horse. We're all going to wind up in the cemetery, so what difference does it make what you do.
Last week, I was talking to a bodybuilder. He was telling me about his muscles. And what he does for this muscle, and what he does for that muscle, and how well he eats. So I told him, that's great, you'll be the healthiest man in the cemetery. And that's about the gist of it.
Why not use your energy for constructive purposes? Now this does not have to mean that you ignore your body. Your body will always take care of itself. As a matter of fact, the more you practice your sadhana, or realize your true identity, your body will be able to take better care of itself than you were ever able to take care of it, BECAUSE IT COMES UNDER A DIFFERENT LAW.. It knows what to do. It will do whatever it came to this world to do, but it has absolutely nothing to do with you.
Wake up to that fact.
Stop thinking about yourself so much. About getting a new job, losing a job, about working or not working. No one is ever happy. Those people who work are miserable because they have to work. Those people who don't work are miserable because they can't find a job. And when they find a job they join the miserable ones who can't stand the job.
Where is peace?
Peace is your real nature.
It's within you.
It is you.
Look for it and you'll find it.
Seek and ye shall find.
