WAKE UP!
When people asked Buddha: "What should we do in order not to come to the anger that we do not to be greedy, that we do not to be so obsessed with food?", His answer was always the same: "Be aware. Bring mindfulness into your life ».
His disciple Ananda, again and again seeing that come to him are different people with different problems, but the recipe is always the same, came confusion. He said:
- How so? They bring all sorts of disease: one brings greed, the other - the food, the third - what else - but your recipe is always the same!
And the Buddha said:
- Different people have different illnesses - just as different people may dream different dreams.
If two thousand people fall asleep, they will dream dreams, two thousand. But if you come to me and ask how to get rid of these dreams, the drug will be one for all, "Wake up." The medicine will be exactly the same for all; the recipe is the same. Call it awareness, you can call it a testimony - they are different names for the same medication.
Wake up! Wake up! Soon, the man who, as you are sure you are going to die. So wake up now and pleasures of this knowledge. Looking for - there is no need; Achievements - lead nowhere. They are not dependent on anything, so be as happy now! Understand Love - this is the only reality of the world, because all is One, and the only law is the paradox, humor and change. Problems never been, and never will be. Leave your struggle and release your mind, throw away your worries and the solution in the world. There is no need to resist life; just do everything well. Open your eyes and see that you are much more than you think. You are the world, you have the universe - you and others too! This is a wonderful game of the Lord. Awake and resurrect a sense of humor. Do not worry, just be happy. You are already free!
