Look at the world.
The world is a cosmic joke.
It appears to be real.
The good things, the beautiful things, the horrible things. They are all imposters.
The world is a world of duality.
For every good there has to be a bad.
It has to balance.
For every bad there has to be a good.
For every up there is a down. For every forward there is a backward.
We can never understand this world. It’s too complex. Get out of it. Not by committing suicide, but by transcending the mind and body, and awakening to your real Self.
That’s how you get out of it.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Stop paying so much attention to your thoughts, to the world, to your body.
Let come what may.
Surrender totally to your Self.
Your Self is God, Consciousness.
Begin to identify with the “I-am”, not with conditions.
Leave conditions alone.
As I told you before, you are not responsible for anything.
Get rid of your guilty feelings.
Mentally, you have to feel in your heart the Oneness of Eternity. And until we mature and this comes first in our lives,
we will only go so far on the spiritual path. Where your heart is, that’s where God is.
Today, think,
“What is this thing I’m attached to?”
What is so meaningful for me in this world? And realize it is that which is keeping you back. Let go of it mentally, by turning within, and realizing that “I” feel this. I feel I need this.
Where does the ‘I’ come from?
Follow the ‘I’ thread to the source and become liberated.
