“True love is the sweetness of your emotions .”
– Sadhguru
Is your life in pursuit of happiness or an expression of joy?
Love is not something that you do, it’s something that you can become. It’s your quality.
- If your mind is a certain way, it is Joyful. If your emotions are a certain way, it is loving. If your body is pleasant, it’s called health. If your mind is pleasant, it’s called peacefulness. If you’re emotions become pleasant, it’s called love and compassion. If you’re life energy becomes pleasant, it’s called blissfulness and ecstasy. When your surroundings become pleasant, it’s called success.
For your body, mind, emotions, success, you don’t need anyone’s cooperation to feel pleasant. You don’t need people to be a certain way to experience love within you.
- This life is a complete and wonderful life by itself. You may want a more intimate sharing of love with one person, but if you depend on someone else for love, you try to squeeze love out of them.
- At first, they drip and eventually they’re dry.
Resurce: Refine
to free from impurities or unwanted material ; to free from moral imperfection: elevate
As a human being you must see how this life can blossom to its fullest.
- A maple tree is just trying to be the best maple tree it can be. It’s not trying to produce apples or coconut. Blossomed human being can mean intelligent, rich, an artist, loving, etc.
- But, a fully blossomed human being is a joy to see no matter what they’re doing or not doing.
Why do people want affluence?
- Initially, it’s a choice of nourishment, then lifestyle, etc.
So, what is the abundance you are seeking?
- That differs from people’s geographical locations or their competence and capabilities in different times of their lives.
- Do not think in terms of abundance but in terms of fulfillment in life.
Are you cumulating all these things as a way to act in this world or as a way to enhance your self?
- At least, be as joyful or exuberant as when you were 5 years of age (when nothing was even in your control).
- When was the last full day you have been in complete ease, with no anxiety?
- Don’t think in terms of abundance and control because those things will happen naturally.
- The only way to Enhance your self is to bring it to its full blossoming, at your fullest (no better or worse than those around you).
