Accept whatever life gives you with deep gratitude.

Don’t be fooled by your ego, into thinking that what you have or are is done by you. That is very ugly, you have done nothing and can do nothing.

With YOU I mean your false self, the ego, which is just fake, just a substitute because you don’t know who you are, or let’s say what you are, you are not a who yet, first you have to go through the «what», «What am I?» rather than «Who am I?», cause that will just make you think in mundane ways «I am a business man, I am a man, I am a woman, I am a mom, I am a dad», that is not relevant here. What are you?

And because we don’t know, the ego is our only life, and ego loves to take credit for anything great in your life, but when things go wrong, suddenly it is not your fault? Ego are hurt now, so of course it is someone else to blame. Just drop the whole ugly thing, you have never done anything, just accept that.

Nothing of any great value in your life has been done by you, and that is a great feeling because it will help you to relax more, relax into understanding that you don’t have to do anything. And when you don’t have to do anything, that’s when you are able to do everything. It is a paradox. Why? It is very clear, because when you first drop the idea that you have done anything, ego weakens, then you become more grateful, more relaxed and with the relaxation creativity starts, now with this creativity you are finally touching something beyond the ego, and this is where all things can be done. Ego is the hindrance, and it is just lack of understanding, awareness and gratefulness.

Remember, all that has any value can only and only be assigned to gratitude, the great mystery of existence, you know nothing about anything valuable, and you don’t have to, just accept it, enjoy it and leave it as a mystery. Don’t become like the business man, trying to find the root cause of it all, life is not business, life is a mystery.

Last, you are already that which you are seeking, so you can just accept everything with deep gratitude.

If you find the outside life hard, which most of us do, at least we should find a way to enjoy the silent, nonjudgmental energy that lies within us, the thing without a name, the center of the tornado, our life force, our life source, while we are alone with ourselves

To demand that the outside world, the BIG, scary world, be on your side your whole life is too big of a demand. God is not a Santa Claus, your ego wants all things that in fact just become a burden on you.

But to ask yourself to find a way to enjoy yourself is certainly within your command.

This is the way of the seeker, he searches for the center of the tornado, he knows by now that it is pure silence and safe in the very center of it, but the way there is not easy, but being in the middle of the storm is harder, so he seeks a way to get into the silence. This is meditation.

You are not your body, or your mind, or your thoughts, or your emotions, or your name, or your fame, or your success, or your failure, or your past, you have them, but you are not them, it is a big difference, that which you can drop, or watch you cannot be, and that which you cannot drop, you must be

If you look very close, the watcher of this whole experience, the watcher of the emotions, your thoughts, your past, has always been there, and it is never changing, it is your life source, it is your home

Why does this matter? Just think about this significant statement: «this too shall pass». When you start to observe that the observer is there all the time, available to you all the time, regardless of the external circumstances, you start to understand that «this too shall pass», that all external is just like the clouds, but the sky is always behind the clouds, always available to you, then you need not be afraid anymore. You can remove a cloud, but not the sky. How mysterious this life is, that we are nothingness at our core, therefore we are everything and everywhere.

The more you can watch the clouds, the fewer clouds there will be, and the inner sky will be clearer and clearer, and when the sky is totally clear you will see that you are the sky, all else is just passing by

This is meditation, to watch and observe and not to be identified with the clouds, the thoughts, the emotions, the name, the fame, the success and the failure.

Your sky is exactly like my sky, it is the same sky, meditation removes all inferiority and superiority complexes and replaces them with compassion and love, because how can you feel less or more than the other, when they are and have the same inner sky as you.

On the outside you look better or worse than another, that does not matter because «this too shall pass», but not the sky, it is there, it is you, it is me, it is the whole.
