Most of us on this planet are not serious at all.
Life is full of sorrow.
And we always present and show the sorrow in all kinds of forms.
There are numerous details about the sorrow.
All kinds of narratives,
Stories,
Personal experiences that form one's past.
The past is sorrow,
Isn't it?
A mind trapped in the past is sorrow.
When the mind is trapped by its numerous personal experiences,
The living is full of sorrow.
And there might be a momentary pleasure about some achievement from the past of the me.
But if one really looks at the so-called past,
Such a way of living with the past is full of sorrow.
Where there is pleasure,
There is sorrow.
A life that is merely seeking pleasure is full of sorrow.
Can you see this fact?
And can you end the sorrow completely?
Nobody else can do that for you.
It's only you can end the sorrow totally.
So there's a new chapter of living which is free of all the sorrow,
Which is never tarnished by thoughts,
Illusions,
Desires.
But all of those require you to take actions to end the sorrow,
Which is to go deep into yourself,
To really understand what you are actually.
Else the mind is always escaping from what is.
In that escape,
The confusion is accumulated.
All the issues,
As one is going through now,
Is also being accumulated.
So this journey is really serious.
It is not an entertainment.
When it is really serious,
One must find out that this is the bottom line of living.
There's no way of turning back.
One must change completely,
Totally.
End this living which is full of sorrow.
Where there is sorrow,
Meaning is not.
Meaning is never in the pleasure.
But for most people,
Pleasure becomes meaning,
Unfortunately.
In that pleasure-seeking activities,
The meaning of this existence has been totally washed away by the sorrow.
