Hitting the Goldmine
If you run after fulfillment, it will be an endless run. You will never be fulfilled.
There are three ways in which you try to fulfill yourself.
⚫You want your pocket to be full with wealth. You want your head to be full.
⚫You want to know everything.
⚫You want your heart to be full – you want to love and you want people to love you.
These are the only three ways through which you are attempting fulfillment.
Now suppose I give you all the money in the planet, will your pocket become full or can it take some more?
It can take some more, isn’t it?
So in the very nature of things, your pocket cannot become full.
If I grind all the libraries on this planet and pour it into your head, will your head become full? No, it can take some more.
So in the very nature of things, your head cannot become full.
If you include the whole population as a part of yourself and love them, will your heart become full or can you include a newborn child also? You can, so this also cannot become full.
So if you run after fulfillment, you will be on an endless run.
But emptiness is always full.
That which is empty is absolutely empty.
It is never half empty. There is no such thing as incomplete emptiness.
To see this, it takes awareness, and only then you recognize the nectar of life.
Otherwise, you mistake the poison as nectar and waste your life running after that.
This is the fundamental of spiritual life.
People think that someone on the spiritual path has given up everything.
They have not given up anything.
They have hit a goldmine.
No problems, no nonsense.
