Look at life in terms of what can be changed and do something about it.

• Crying about things that you cannot change is a sure strategy to remain at status quo.

At least once a month, identify one small thing about yourself that you want to change. Like,

• “Every time before I eat, I will spend 10 seconds in gratitude for this food which is going to become a part of me.”
• “Every time I use anything that is an essential element of my life, like the soil, the water, the air, and everything else around me, I will save 1% of it.”

A significant thing every human being has to do is structure their psychological and emotional framework around the most fundamental fact of their life – their mortality.

Right now, it takes a lifetime for people to understand that they are mortal; they need a heart attack or the appearance of a malignant lump somewhere to remind them.

You need to celebrate and enjoy every moment of your life because life does not wait for you even for a moment.

Within yourself, is it more pleasant to be loving, or to be angry, hateful and jealous? Which is a more intelligent way to exist? Loving, isn’t it? All I am saying is, please live intelligently.

This is not for someone else’s sake. It is pleasant and beautiful for you. Creating a loving world is not a service that you do for someone else. It is an intelligent way to exist.

In many ways, most people’s happiness, peace and love are mortgaged to the external situation.

So, if the stock market goes up you are happy, if the stock market goes down you are unhappy. But the quality of life is not about what is around you.

Living joyfully and peacefully is not new to you. You were like that as a child, isn’t it? So, I am not talking about taking you beyond, I am just talking about starting at the square one of your life.

Noticing the stupidity of who you are is great intelligence.

Anything in this existence – a tree, a blade of grass, a grain of sand, one single atom – do you understand any of these things fully? No. When this is your level of intelligence and perception, how should you walk in the world? Gently, with a little humility, respect and love for everything around you.

If not love, then at least with awe, because you don’t understand a damn thing in this world.

If you just learn to walk like this, you will not escape a spiritual process. You don’t need any teaching. It will happen to you anyway.

Your inner world – if you want to call it that – should only be a reflection of what is around you. You get corrupted by what is around you only when you have opinions about everything.

You look at one thing as good, something else as bad. You get attached to what you consider as good. You desperately try to avoid what you consider as bad, and of course that will rule you from inside. . Seeing everything just the way it is – that is the way to be within. If you see something other than what is there, it means you are contaminating the world with your opinions and prejudices.
