My Prem and The Key

WE tend to chase after so many ideas that our minds and the minds of others through up under the belief that it will help up satisfy our souls.

Whether it be seeking riches, fame or glory or getting a new car, new job, new house or new partner, there we go putting so much effort into achieving what we have already done before, over and over again.

The mind is like a genie that can achieve so much yet disappoint us so much; sometimes it just won't stop, telling us this or that plan, worrying about the future or regretting the past. It can be like a genie that we can no longer control; it must keep busy for that the nature; even when we sleep! It can distract us from what we try to focus on.

And what ought we focus on?

Surely not things that we really know will not bring lasting peace and joy and a sense of real fulfilment?

Of course we need to know first is there anything that will bring us those things and that will last?

Some say follow your heart, not your head. That's not the heart that beats no more than it is the head that sits on your neck. It means the heart that feels and not the head that thinks. Of course that does not mean to stop thinking or to stop using our brains (the genie), but it means stop letting our minds control everything we do and everything we strive for.

So where is that heart, what is that heart! Our minds will of course try to tell us. It may try to think up feelings of peace or joy. It may try to build us up or tare us down, and we will go up and down with it. One day we feel good about life, one day we feel bad. One day we feel everything will be OK, next day we feel we are all doomed.

Such is life, some may say.

It's like the surface of the earth, up the mountains and down the valleys, and we go with it on our journey. Remember of course that most of our planet is sea, and that does not go up and down in quite the same way. We can, nowadays, use a helicopter or submarine, which would make our journey maybe more level. We need to fly above or float below the surface.

How lucky the human that has learned to be. How lucky the human that has found the heart, for in that place is the peace and joy we seek.

We do not need to stop living in this world or live in isolation in a cave to do that.

We just need to be shown what we once had, that knowledge of self My teacher Prem Rawat was the one that showed me.
