Contentment
Why is there always an emptiness, an unexplainable void? Why the heart always keeps longing for something? Why isn't it contended? Where is contentment to be found?
Just as money can't buy me contentment, in the same way, neither experiences nor knowledge can give me contentment. Nothing outside me, can give me contentment. There is no moksha to be attained. There is no journey to be travelled in time, where at some point in future, the goal of contentment is to be achieved.
All it requires is to open my eyes and realise, I am already contended. I am already complete. I am already secured. Nothing can be snatched from me that would make me incomplete. I am all good and perfectly fine.
There is no journey to be travelled, neither externally in this material world, nor internally in our spiritual world. I am already at the destination. I am already a winner, as everybody is. And since I am at my destination, now is the time to live, to enjoy, to get wilder, to get playful, to get involved with life in the deepest sense, to experience life as it is. Life as it is, is beautiful.
There is no purpose of my birth. There is nothing to be achieved in my lifetime. All I have to do is to exist and get playful and keep dancing with life, and that's it.
As a flower blooms, it fragrances the whole environment and refreshes it. Flower does not bloom for the purpose of fragrance or refreshing its surrounding. It just blooms, and due to it's nature per se, the environment becomes good and refreshing.
Similarly, if I just bloom, there is no journey, no achievement to be unlocked. It's all already here.
Let me be just me and that's all.
And probably, that would make me contended.
