“The mind flirts in all directions all the time, But is unable to find happiness anywhere.” - Vashishta
We are happy for short while, but something goes wrong and contentment is gone. Then we look back and say, “The good old days…” but they do not last.
For today to be good today must be total. But can we live like that? We are too busy in the Future of “I want” striving to acquire more & more, and so we miss the present moment. Many even on their death bed are still busy about future and have not looked within.
BEGIN NOW. See the restlessness of the mind – and accept it. Get to know this mind that keeps running. Get to understand everything you do.
We understand everyone and everything, but we do not understand ourselves. It is so ridiculous! Begin with yourself—find out why your mind is as it is, and find the motive behind your actions and reactions. You will notice that in everything you do there is a “because” – i.e. Expectations and Expectations.
This craving for ‘Expectations’ --- Desires, ensures the restless flirting of the mind, swinging your moods from High happiness to deep sorrow. Hence the most important thing in life is to learn that instead of Expect it should learn to Accept. ONLY THEN can you find Happiness—which is lasting, or the state of BLISS.
