We hide in relationships. We hide in material possessions. We hide in ambitions, secret desires, hates, frustrations, jealousy, self-ptiy, in our insecurity – and more than anything our vanity and our egotism.
If your nature is infinite awareness trapped in a body, suddenly there’s a lack of happiness, a lack of freedom. No matter what you get you’ll never be happy, because these are all trinkets.
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.
If you just keep giving constantly, if you don’t really take thought of your own welfare and your own awareness, but just give, beyond exhaustion – then your life will always be a constant progression.
Life itself is selfless giving. We’re not given this life just for own amusement and pleasures.
When you practice selfless giving, you’re in balance and harmony with everything.
Nature gives constantly to us. We as indendepent egos think we’re important. Selfless giving has to do with overcoming the ego. The ego makes us unhappy.
We’re not aware of the joy of our own immortality. When we give to someone else it opens a doorway and gives us the vision to see those we give to are God. As we see this in others, suddenly we see it within ourselves.
We see the one light, the one unified reality that we see in others, is the same reality that is within ourselves. We are one with all of existence.
You can only be really happy when you become what you really are.
Having a tough time, things aren’t working out no matter what you try and do? That’s because you are spending your whole life just doing things for yourself. That’s a very limited view of your being.
The best mantrum is selfless giving beause as you repeat it again and again, you change.
If your’re not having a very good time with your life, its because you haven’t done much for others. You may have done many things but you havent done much for those around you.
When you’re going though a difficult time, forget about yourself for a while. Go do something for someone else. This is the fastest way to pull yourself out of a negative state.
You could sit around and feel sorry for yourself or you can go out and do things for others.
One day after many, many lifetimes, we get wise. We decide that the fun in life is to give.
We are inspired by the God that we see in others and suddenly we find ourselves changing. We find ourselves giving more. We find that our lives become rather amazingly beautiful.
There’s always someone to help, there’s always some way in which you can perfect yourself through service to others.
Selfless giving means forgeting about yourself. It means letting go and doing something crazy.
