Live Quality
Our true nature is good, joyful, curious and playful. When I don’t feel it, it’s only because I’ve covered it up with rubbish.
The innate sense now that is a full and joyful life. We all want this, and in the past this translated into substitute desires, for money, relationships, power, status, materials and approvable success. If we look at desires, we can see they come from the wanting of approval, control, security, or the running away from fear. Test it out. What is that you want most? Does it arise from one or more of the four wants?
If we let go of these wants, we see that the desires we have are really not quite so desperate. They are rather flimsy. What we really want is to be full, expanded, joyful, natural, and connected. We already have that! When we let go of the rubbish, there it is! The natural, playful, joyful, compassionate, experiencing awareness has always been there.
I find in this place of peace and stillness, true inspiration rises.
Chirag want to share what he has discovered about and through awakening:
When I child & in school time, I was very playful. I never had taken any tension or any stress about education & life.
As I grew-up, there certainly have been times, of sadness, longing, insecurity, a fall-back to addictions, detachment, insomnia, apathy, isolation, and low-energy.
This is the time I started practicing meditation. Which brought certain realization. On a deeper level you are already complete. When I realize that, there is a playful, joyous energy behind what I do.
There’s a lot going on beneath the surface – so much, in fact, that it can be almost surprising to hear such a simple observation – “you are already complete.”
The insight doesn’t mean we are complete in our growth, our journey, or spiritual evolution – we are travelers on the road of life, and no one’s journey is complete until the end of the path.
But what these words might mean is that we don’t always have to change ourselves so much to experience life with fullness and energy. Underneath the layers we’ve added over the years and seasons, there is a simpler version of all of us living within, unconcerned with status and achievement, simply looking for happiness and warmth.
And when this “self” is allowed to rise to the surface, we might just move through life with new vigor and appreciation for how joyful our days can be.
