Q How do I create my world?
A The outer world of objects
being the same for allā¦
different PREFERENCES for them
reside in each mind.
If I get something I likeā¦I am happy.
CONVERSELY, if I get something I donāt likeā¦
I am unhappyā¦sadā¦angry.
When desire arisesā¦
I begin to work for what I like.
If I get itā¦I enjoy it and
am possessive about it.
The greater the attraction for
the pleasure, the stronger the attachment.
With things I donāt likeā¦
dislike slowly turns to hatred.
ā¦Likeā¦dislike become
hateā¦love and then control the mind.
We experience happinessā¦unhappiness
not because of objectsā¦situationsā¦people
BUT because of the relationships
we create with them.
Like becomes desire
Dislike turns to angerā¦
ā¦Then other negative emotions flowā¦
These emotions constantly change…
RESULT ļ It is difficult to:
ā¦understand people.
ā¦please either oneself or others.
FORTUNATELYā¦
Human beings have an innate capacity
to changeā¦and herein lies their beauty.
TO EFFECT TRANSFORMATIONā¦
Become aware of the likes and dislikes.
They can neither be wiped out completely
nor neutralised immediatelyā¦
SO convert them to become preferences.
SHAKE OFF THE SHACKLES
To now begin the journey
ā¦for the HIGHER
ā¦for the BETTER!
