Self
We are not alone, meaning, that there are many others—humans, beings, objects etc.—all around. It is wonderful, when we can find friends, when we can find love. However! no matter how close such a one (or such a group) may be to us, they will always remain other.
It is our Self, that is the ultimate safety. That, which cannot be distinguished from Ourselves. Self!
Force of Good
To be a force of Good in the world, we must know Ourselves. How else can we hope to act intelligently? And how will ever blind action be beneficial? For the benefit of all, strive to know your Self!
Ultimate Safety
I.
There is a bitter pill to swallow in terms of the truth of the human condition. It is this: we are limited.
When you hear people say things such as—’Life is perfection, everything is perfect.’—stay sober; remember pain, struggle, and suffering; don’t forget the challenges you’ve already experienced, which taught you the valuable lesson, that there is BOTH good and bad. When you hear people say—’Your potential is infinite.’—don’t fixate only on the word ‘infinite’, notice also the word ‘potential’, which means, that anything can be, but might not be. When you hear people say—’Life is suffering.’—take that to heart… but:
Don’t give up! Stand strong, even if all is hopeless!! Know, that Ultimately You Are Safe!!!
II.
Yes, we are “bound” to the body—whatever happens to it, happens to us. That is our limitation.
And while that can be seen as tragic, there is also a way to look at the matter, where this makes our entire human endeavor incredibly noble.
We are in a circumstance full of strife and hardship, and yet! we carry on the best we can, as if wanting to say: “I Am Ultimately Safe!”
III.
So what is the Ultimate Safety? The endlessness of it all.
The Wish
What do you want?
Whatever it is, I wish you get it.
Some things might not be possible to get for you, I wish you got it anyway.
Some things we would want, but we are not even capable of wanting, I wish.
I just wish, that all would be happy—don’t you also?
What can we do to make that happen? We can do certain things…
Let’s do what, what we can; and what we cannot, let’s at least wish we could!
