If a bird is used to flying and you put in a a cage, it won't be a happy bird; It wants to fly; that's its nature. Your nature is infinite awareness.
You have no fixed self. This is only an illusion that causes you to feel pain and suffering.
The reason why we're not happy is because we believe consciously and subconsciously that we're separate from god, eternal awareness.
We define a world. We build a house, then after building the house we enter into it and we never leave it.
Whenever we just try to please ourselves, all we do is cover up another window in the little house we're stuck in.
Whenever we do something for someone else, we affirm that we are not simply in it for ourselves, that our self is someone else, is everyone else.
What you do affects your awareness field. When you do something selfless your attention feild is more clear, more lucid.
When you do something "selflish" you'll feel constricted and restricted. You won't be happy.
Those who pursue a worldy life - who try to get others to do what they want, to peform for them, who use and abuse in the name of their own happiness - are miserable.
Feeling "comfortable" is the short path to annihilation.
If your life is based around your being comfortable, you're not very comfortable. You suffer quite a bit - becuase in the realm of the senses there is not only pleasure, but there is pain.
Selfless giving changes our concept of our identity. When we give to others our unselfishness removes the spot of "self" that stained our awareness.
We preceive that God is in all of those we give to.
Then we see that the same God is within ourselves.
Meditation is humility - the absence of thought, doubt, and ego.
In meditation the mind stops, thought ceases. When thought stops, the world stops. When the world stops, perception stops. When perception stops, the sense of "I" as a perceiver falls away.
Every day work on your humility through your meditation, giving more of yourself, giving those things you don't want to give.
When there's nothing but humility, there's nothing but spiritual oneness.
When you admire others, you become one with them and the world loves you.
If you suffer in love, if you have problems in love, it's because you don't have enough humility.
If you really have humility when you love, there is only one thought: "What can I do for my beloved?"
Humility does not live in the prison of illusion that says that this world is a dark and terrible place. Those perceptions are phantoms; everything is eternity, God, divine.
There is nothing that isn't perfect, the only reason we don't see that perfection constantly is because we lack humility.
Humility means that you have the courage to accept that you are eternity itself.
Accept that you are that - you are the matchless, eternal reality. That's true seeing, true humility.
