Know yourself
You know your face because you often see it in the mirror.
Now there is a mirror in which you can see the full self and see all the things in your heart, all feelings, motives, hobbies, impulses and fears.
This mirror is the mirror of the relationship: the mirror between you and your parents, the mirror between you and your teacher, the mirror between you and the river, the tree, the earth, the mirror between you and your mind.
Instead of seeing the image you want, you see what you really are.
I can observe how I speak to others, and I am very polite to those who can give me things, and to those who can not give me things are rude and contemptuous.
I pay special attention to those who frighten me.
I stood up when the important figures came in, but I didn't mind when the servant came in.
So by observing my own performance in relationships, I find myself misrepresenting my respect for others.
At the same time, I can find my truth in my relationship with trees, birds, ideas and books.
You may have all the degrees in the world, but if you don't know yourself, you are the stupidest person.
Knowing yourself is the real purpose of all education.
Lack of self-knowledge, just collect information or take notes, then pass the exam.
It's just a stupid way of living.
You may be able to cite scripture from books such as the upanishad, the Koran, and the bible, but unless you know yourself, you are a parrot that repeats the words of others.
But once you start to understand yourself, no matter how small you are, the extraordinary action of creativity is already under way.
Suddenly seeing the real self is a new discovery, including seeing your own greed, argumentation, anger, jealousy, and stupidity.
From this point on, you can get deeper and deeper into infinity, because self-knowledge has no end.
Self-knowledge is the beginning of wisdom, including the whole universe, and all the struggles of human nature.
For centuries, we have been fed by our teachers, our elders, our books, and our saints with spoons.
We always say, "please tell me, what lies behind the plateau, the mountains and the earth?"
We always live in a world of other people, and we live both shallow and empty, so we are at best a "second-hand" person.
What are you, yourself, as a human being?
No one or anything can answer this question for you, so you have to know yourself first.
To know oneself is the beginning of wisdom.
Real life
A little boy asked the question.
Playing games, eating good food, running, jumping, pushing, these are his real life.
You know, we always divide our lives into real and fake.
The real life is to do what you love with all your heart, without any conflict, without fighting between what you do and what you have to do.
So life is a complete process, in which there is great joy.
Very few of us really know how to think, most people just repeating what we read the books, or by what other people tell us, our thinking is only the result of limited experience.
We travel around the world, there are thousands of experience, met a lot of different people, listening, observing their customs, their religious beliefs, behavior, we remember the whole thing, then known as thought.
We compare, judge, choose, through this program, we hope to find a more reasonable life attitude.
But this way of thinking is very limited, and it's limited to very small scales.
You are surrounded by life, sickness, death, money, status, power struggles, what we call the endless struggle of life.
Even if you're very young, don't you ever wonder what it is all about?
Most of us want someone to tell us the answer, so we pick up a political or religious book to read or ask, but no one can tell us.
For life is not something to be learned from books, nor is it to be gained from following others or through some kind of prayer.
Must I go you know, we can do it, only if we are all alive, very alert, alert, full of observation and interested in everything around, we can find what is real happiness.
Joy in life
If you want to be happy, you must be happy when you do it.
You may want to marry the richest man, or marry the most beautiful girl, or pass the exam, be praised by someone, and you think you will be happy if you get what you want.
But is this happiness?
Isn't it just like a flower that blooms in the morning and soon dies at night?
But this is our life, and that's all we want.
We're satisfied, so the surface of things such as a car, a stable job, some unnecessary worries caused by small touched, just like a little boy happily puts a kite in a windy, teary-eyed again in a few minutes.
This is our life, and we are satisfied.
We never say, "I want to put my heart and soul into it and find out what happiness is."
Have you ever sat quietly, with your back straight and motionless, to experience the beauty of silence?
You have allowed your mind to wander, not to think of insignificant things, but to explore and dig deeper, wider and deeper.
Do you know what the world is like?
The state of the world is the projection of what we are, what we are, what the world is.
Most of us are in chaos. We are greedy, possessive, jealous and judgmental.
This is the reality of the world, just more dramatic and more brutal.
But neither you nor your teacher will take a moment to think about it.
As long as you spend some time each day thinking about these things, it is possible to bring about comprehensive change and create a new world.
I am certain that the new world must be created, and it is not a continuation of another form of corrupt society.
If your mind is not alert, unawakened, and unable to expand awareness, you cannot create a new world.
So be sure to take these questions seriously, for in this kind of thinking, there is a tremendous amount of joy and joy.
