Live Quality
Let go of the desire for life, but don’t let go of the quality which those people who are mad for life and who want to live at any cost have. Let go of your desire for life but have respect for all life.
Be happy as those are who live for happiness.
But do not desire happiness. Don’t ask for happiness, live in happiness. This is worth understanding.
People ask how they can live happily – to live this very moment happily, and not to ask how. Breathing, breathe joyfully; if you raise your hands, do it joyfully; if you walk, sit, do it joyfully. Whatever you do, do it joyously so that your every action becomes a waterfall of happiness. Don’t wait for happiness and don’t even ask how. Whatever you may be doing, even the smallest of small jobs. If you are sweeping outside your house, do it joyously too – enjoy it.
Whatever you have to do, wherever you may be, don’t do anything unhappily, because then, even if you enter heaven, you will enter unhappily; there too you will always manage to find reasons for being unhappy. You will be always looking for unhappiness, and there too you will generate darkness. Even if God himself is present, you will find that something or other is wrong, so that you can remain unhappy.
Whatever you are doing, do it happily. Don’t ask for happiness. Live happily, don’t ask for happiness. Whatever may be happening, seek out where and how you can find happiness in it. Then even a dry crust of bread can give you happiness – if you know how to find it. If you know how to be happy, even ordinary water can quench you deeply. If you know how to be happy then even the shade from an ordinary tree will put palaces to shame. If you know how to be happy then just the song of the birds in the morning, or the sun rising, or the beauty of the stars at night, or even a small breeze, can shower you with happiness. Don’t ever ask for happiness – live happily. The moment you ask, you have already begun to live in unhappiness.
Happiness is not a wish, happiness is the art of living. The moment you demand it, you have missed. Learn the art, start with this very moment. What is lacking in this moment? Everywhere around you birds are singing, the sun’s rays are showering on you, life is blooming, you are alive. At this moment where is the shortage of joy? This moment is full of joy.
But if you desire, then you will become unhappy this very moment. Don’t desire. Emptiness, silence, then who can be happier than you?
Here Avinash want to share with you all his experience of Let-Go and Self-Trust.
I used to admire one of my friend ..my friendship with him was about 15 years, we shared almost everything but one fine day he turned around and called my wife on phone and told her what I did at the time when I was in college..
She heard quietly, immediately she told me that how immature your friend is. This kind of things happen with everyone when they are at that age. What he told me clearly shows his immaturity. My wife understood me without my explanation. Bond and trust goes smoothly.
