How to help another.

 

41606024240_5f04b4a35a_b

 

Relationships are what life is–i.e., relationship with yourself and your life, relationship with each experience, relationship with the earth, relationship with another human being, etc.

And when it comes to relationship with another, it can be difficult; so, one thing to remember is that each one of us is different, and require different treatment as our experiences shaped us differently–psychologically, emotionally, physically.

The first impulse of any decent and compassionate person is to help another, but one must always stop the desire rushing in the mind and ask oneself how to properly help; because, as I said before, each one of us requires different treatment.

So, to do this, you must practice the art of quietly observing people, without judging them, without guessing what they feel or think; but just be there, observing, learning about them.

And listen to your intuition.  Most of the time people tend to try to help another in the same way they would help themselves, but we are all different; so we may differ in what we need as well.

Sometimes just listening to intuition is what we need to know how to help another.  Sometimes is easier than what we think it is, because quite often it is about connecting to people by listening and just being there.  Emotional connection is EXTREMELY important to connect with another and so help another.

The dawning of wisdom.

 

knowing-yourself-is-the-beginning-of-all-wisdom-300x300

 

Look deeply into your troubles, into the anger you feel, the loneliness, the envy, the heavy stress, the obsessive desire to possess someone or something; and discover the buried thinking patterns, so you can rise above that feeling and realize that you are bringing this onto yourself.

Complications, hardship, suffering is the construct of our petty, little minds when attached to our physical perceptions.  Everybody seeks dating, commitment, marriage, kids; thus, you observe this, you attach a “happiness” and “love” label to it, and so you develop the desire to copy.

You see others get wealthy, better jobs, expensive cars, great shopping; therefore, you believe that this is the “normal,” that this is what happiness really is, and that you desire to be part of this tradition and collective desire of the unconscious masses.

So, you do this, you struggle to be part of all this society nonsense, and you even fill your mind with constant anxiety in the process.  Why…??  Does it make you truly happy??

Do you even truly understand why you obsess about this and feel the nagging need to be this way, always seeking, copying, competing??  So, this is your ego, the secret obsession you have to achieve more and more; but you judge if it works for you or not.

Inquire into yourself and find out why you seek this and desire to achieve and even belong to the collective, because if you do not inquire into it then you will never really understand yourself, your life, and what love and happiness are beyond any petty desires you may have.

The Art of Love.

 

So, love is not what you think, or what you feel, as nice as these can be for you. When you say “I love you,” you are really feeding your own ego, which is okay; however, you must truly understand, love cannot exist in a word, for love is an action, today, now, even if you are upset.  Words of “love” do not have real validity, they only satisfy your ravenous ego.

To truly love is an art that most people, even though they form relationships and satisfy each other, do not seem able to master.  A desire, a passionate feel, a joyful sensation–these are manifestations of thinking, of a thought.  Let me ask you, and be honest with yourself now:  Do you reduce and belittle love to be just a mere satisfying thought…??  If you do, then you do not understand and experience true love, as most unconscious people do not.

“An Infinite Ocean.”

You can study me all you want,
You can mention me all you want,
You can obsess over me all you want;
But only beyond that desire you and I exist.
You must surrender yourself to it to know it.

So, if anyone asks you about the art of love,
And about how to love, and about our love,
Tell them that there exists no spoken love,
That our love is not how the flower looks,
That our love is not what your mind knows.

And if you wonder why the sky is so blue today,
Or why our attraction is so mystically powerful,
Or why you feel this way and you cannot hide it,
Then stop your mind and kiss me on the lips;
For to love me is to love you without thought.

We loved each other long before this thought.
We knew each other long before this poem.
Love is an infinite ocean which exists in us,
The rest is just an unreal agony muddying it;
So, you and I are the ocean without the agony.

A Happy Life Now.

 

5137647-Jiddu-Krishnamurti-Quote-Happiness-is-strange-it-comes-when-you

 

So, what is life…??  Think about it carefully.  Is life what you desire, what you think and feel, what you project in your mind??  Or is life your behaviors, your choices starting from the Now moment??

See, people believe that they understand what life truly is, so they seek success, money, popularity, they get attached to what they desire and project in their minds.  Some others cling themselves to their past experiences, fearing thus repeating them.

Both of these groups of unconscious people live in illusion, such is the illusion of their irrational minds, pursuing happiness, love, seeking success in the future and getting attached to their past experiences.

But life requires your attention now, because it exist in the Now; therefore, not in your mind, and, evidently, not in your expectations of what you want to happen.  Whatever you are experiencing in your life now, start from here, make the best decisions, pay attention and fall in love with your life as it is now.

The pursuit of happiness is an invention of the unconscious masses.  There is nothing to pursue or chase!  Happiness is in putting all positive energy and attention now.  You enjoy it now.  If you cannot experience happiness in your life now, you will not experience it later either.

Aging and your mental garbage.

Brain Aging

 

662-you-cant-help-spiritual-quotes-to-live-by

 

So, most people see themselves aging, wrinkles, losing muscle mass, less energy; and so, they believe that they have to accept this, and so they let themselves go either because they are lazy or because they believe that the mind will age as the body.

But they feel old and aging, losing youth and becoming depressed at this, not because of the passing of time but because of their irrational and immoral belief.  To respect and love yourself is to really ponder this, and take the necessary steps every day to become healthier, sharper, more open-minded.

Aging is really a gift from life, and you only experience this as a gift if you take care of yourself.  Do you have extra body fat which invites illness and weakens your immune system??  And what about eating the wrong foods and quantities, thus making your ability to think slower, duller, close-minded??

Why would somebody intelligent age this way, unhealthily, immorally, as an insult to yourself and as a bad example to others…??  The excuse of having no time is your excuse, isn’t it??  When you develop true love, respect, illumination, then you see beyond all these pitiful excuses.

But when will YOU see the truth about life, you keep aging but you never see it.  Why??  Life is your chance to see this, so make sure you get rid of the mental garbage which does not let you see it.

Better than a lover can.

 

quotes-about-love-friendship

 

So, love, that force which connects us all, the essence which makes us at some deep level realize that we all know each other from before, is a given; however, it is the mind of likes and dislikes the one that separates us and finds excuses to believe that we do not belong together.

So, when it comes to romantic feelings, our minds choose to see the negativity or the positivity in the relationship.  The behaviors of a person could bring either that negativity or positivity as well, but we choose if to give those behaviors real importance or not.  And it is a very personal decision.

Still, one must be able to keep the mind of likes and dislikes in peace and clear from any anger and anxiety in order to judge if to forgive those behaviors or not.  Most of the time, people tend to jump to conclusions and judge immaturely and impulsively, without patience, without stepping back and observing the whole picture.

To do this, to step back, breathe and calm yourself in order to make the right decisions, one must be not just the significant other, the lover, but also the friend who understands and supports.  Friendship, unattached and understanding, is vital to make any relationship work, specially a romantic one.

A friend can see your flaws and weaknesses and understand you better than a lover can.  A friend cares enough to sit down quietly and listen without judging you.  A friend gives you the space and the time you need to develop yourself intellectually and emotionally.

A creative and intelligent mind.

 

Creativity, or the essence of creativity, what fuels the creative process, is not of the busy mind or of the ego; but it comes from beyond that, and in order to tap into it, or in order to access it, one must quiet the mind.  And how do you quiet the mind…??

By observing an introspective or meditative life, a life that is not always busy and noisy, in an environment which offers calm and focus.  When the environment and the body surrender to this quietude as a daily practice, then the brain alters, changes its structure and functioning, and so it access this creative essence easily.

This creative essence is intelligence, it is the purity beyond the noise of the mind, to thus understand life and yourself.  Because that is what intelligence truly is:  Creativity in its purest essence, not only to create art, but to understand life at a deeper level.

The anxious and stressed mind, frustrated and busy, cannot access this pure creativity; for what fills it escapes harmony and calmness, and in doing so creates a psychological environment of pure suffering.  And how can intelligence live in this hostile environment…??

Where it lies.

 

quote-self-transformation-is-not-just-about-changing-yourself-it-means-shifting-yourself-to-jaggi-vasudev-87-19-24.jpg

 

When you hear Krishnamurti or Osho, or some other wise person, say that YOU are the world, that YOU are society, this is indeed not some spiritual and philosophical sentence for you to worship and repeat like a parrot without deeply knowing what it means.

It literally means YOU are the world.  If you are anxious, frustrated, suffering about the life of others, it is because you have no peace in your mind.  A truly awakened person sees the suffering in the world, feels for it, tries to help in some way; but then he moves on.

Moving on means to keep your attention inwardly, focusing on building your own peace of mind; because life is about happiness and, even though you must help others, you have to constantly work on YOUR own happiness.  First your health.  First your peace of mind.   First your psychological, emotional, and physical well-being.  Later, the rest.  First, YOU, then others.

The world is unconscious, it can be terrible, immoral, the cause of depression; however, to experience the opposite of this, happiness in you, you must learn to look at the terrible world, live in it, but keep your focus on you, on your wholeness.  This is what the path to Enlightenment, or to happiness, is all about.

Once you truly understand that the path lies inwards and that suffering the world is egoistical, then you will illumine yourself and begin your transformation into a better human being; but until then you are just pursuing your own sense of self-importance, playing the victim, and reflecting your lack of maturity into the world.

Welcome your life.

 

Gratitude

There is no better attitude you can have than that of constant gratitude, even if situations are not ideal.  Gratitude in your heart and mind, as you get up in the morning, during your day, and as you lay yourself to sleep at night.

Gratitude for the things you experienced, for the person you are even with your personal issues, for the desires you have to make your life better, and for the people around you–even the ones you do not like as much.

Nothing is perfect and that is okay, because that is just the spice of life and why it is so interesting to be alive and experience sadness and joy, the ups and downs, knowing that you have grown up and that you still have much to learn yet.

Your life is your mind.  Your life is the good or bad illusion your mind creates based on the content you allow.  You keep your mind positive, clear, truthful, guided by facts and love, and PATIENT most of all; and so, that is just what you will get as experience in your life.

The Lover.

sweet-love-quotes_38890
A true lover loves life.  Life is the lover.  There is no separation.  One and the same.

 

When people tend to “love” other people, and things, and systems and situations, there comes confusion, ego activity, political games, attachment which leads to suffering.

But there is no freedom in this.  And true love is freedom, absolute freedom.  So when you are a true lover, you reject all systems of politics and competition in life.

And so, with a mind which remains liberated and harmonious, you seek to share your love with all life, like the stars shed light and like The Sun shares energy.

And you occupy your time sharing your love, for there is no time to argue and hate, or envy and compete, or be negative and frustrated.  You just become this lover all the time.

“The Lover Plays“

The lover feels one with all,
He spends time with himself,
He meets his love every day.
Ever joyful and of good spirits,
He claims what it calls to him.
The lover rejects arguments,
He seeks himself in harmony
And does not befriend noise.
A light unto himself he stays.
Freedom on his own he seeks.
In the curious playground of life
Unattached to others he plays.
