Identity creates despair

Ultimately, it is the burden of identity that creates the despair of life.

Being alone

When you live alone for too long without any human company, the only company you keep is with your thoughts. Now having your thoughts for company can be quite tricky. It's ok for a couple of days, but very soon it becomes .....Your thoughts are not real, they are only your mind imagining stuff. Your thoughts are a function of your mood and your nature. Stay with them for too long and they will keep playing the same old imaginations....they will prevent you from seeing things as they are....Let us face it, it is impossible not to have thoughts, thus here we are in the paradox of life, we try to enjoy our beingness but very soon realize that thoughts will not leave us....staying with our own thoughts for too long can immerse us into the realm of illusions...nothing that you think is real, all of us long for connection, to love and to be loved, the need for connection and love is the most basic human need and in its absence nothing that we think is real or true.

Being alone for too long inevitably leads to thoughts of despair. For when your fundamental need for love and connection is unsatisfied, you will think from a place of darkness which will reflect in your thoughts...that is why it is extremely dangerous to believe that we are alone in this universe...avoid this most dangerous illusion...remember always that you are never alone, no matter how convinced you might be of it...for if you exist, that which created you must exist...men start thinking (imagining) strange things in the absence of love...of course you are free to imagine all sorts of darkness and beliefs that you are alone and helpless, but know that almost every thought you have in this state is not real...

We are all one...everything is connected and isolation does not exist. It is love that we crave most and it is ultimately only in love that our salvation lies.

Life and Love

What makes life worth living...Love...What gives purpose to love....the darkness of our lives....
our salvation lies in love...a love which embraces all...

Shanti

The most valuable thing in life is the realization that separation is just an illusion. Ultimately, there is no division to be found anywhere. This gives rise to a vast and indestructible mental peace which cannot be touched by external circumstances. All things are One. May this realization bring complete peace of heart!

Peace

Stress and anxiety play havoc with the mind. Inner peace is the most valuable commodity. The mind by its nature is divided. Thoughts keep coming. So, the question is how does one cultivate a peace, a peace so deep that it is untouchable by anything external. A peace which is constant amidst even great fear. There exists a peace so deep that it is untouchable by your greatest fear and physical pain. This peace is not different from who you are. This peace is the single answer to all your seeking. All desires end in this peace.
