Life, Hope and Truth

 

9

 

 Everybody is selling hope. Hope is a trick. It's a psychological trick. It's a bone in front of you, that you'll never catch. It's madness which won't let you rest for a moment

Why should you not be hopeful 

Is it okay to be hopefully devoted to something, even if your logical mind is saying that "No, it's…..not going to happen?” Is it okay to be hopelessly devoted to something?

Right from ancient times, if you look at those times, there have been many who're unheard-of-more famous devotees. One day, suddenly if you feel hopeless, maybe you will feel depressed too. 

What happens, when there is no hope 

 

When there is no hope, there is no expectation

 

When there is no expectation, there is no disappointment. When there is no disappointment, there is no misery. You just learn to enjoy it. Hope gets you in a hallucinatory mode all the time. So, practice  hopelessness. Come to terms with hopelessness. Don't hope. You are looking very disappointed right now. Practice hopelessness. Conscious hopelessness. You will see, you will be in a fine place in your life. You will see, you will become so beautiful. 

The Role of Hope v/s Trust 

 

Two fundamental aspects or forces act within every human.

One is the force of self-preservation, which is constantly striving to build walls of protection around yourself and the longing to become boundless is constantly striving to push you beyond the boundaries in which you exist. It is these two which are finding variety of expression either in the form of accumulation or in the form of every kind of desire that one can throw up.

 

This Hope is making you unrealistic

 

All kinds of explosions in your mind have nothing to do with reality. If you become hopeless, you will simply accomplish what you can do. What you can do, you will do. What you cannot do, you will not do. This is how life should be. Whatever we can do must happen; what we cannot do, no problem about it. Hope is not like that. It's a madness which won't let you rest a moment. You can't close your eyes. Practice hopelessness; don't worry about devotion, because what you are talking about is not devotion. 

Still, hope has power 

Hope is a powerful word, and it means breathing to give oxygen to someone. Hope is a reality, hope is real, and hope is what keeps us going. Even when all seems stark around us and to all who suffer and to all who feel discouraged, never allow despair to overcome your spirit. If everything is very very bad around you if you have hope, you can survive. 

What is Truth 

Truth is a natural happening. If you invent it, that's called a lie. Truth is not something that you invent, truth is something that you realise. What is natural is the truth. It is important that every generation looks at what is needed, and what is not needed. Every day you must throw out the garbage, and then only the house is clean. 

How to live truthfully and naturally?

In our lives, many things don't work, and we must throw them out daily.

If you don't do that, as a culture, if you don't do it for hundreds of years, then you become stagnant. When you become stagnant, nothing works. Right now, we are constantly looking for better ways of doing every aspect of our life- for the simplest- if you just start looking at what is the best way to breathe- these are all vital things- what is the best way to eat, what is the best way to eat, what is the best way to manage my body? Then you will start approaching your physical and mental well-being scientifically. 

What kind of life should you have

When you're happy, you find solutions, when you're unhappy, you create problems. So, this is important. When people think the pursuit of happiness is to be achieved. The first and basic thing is not done. People think the pursuit of happiness is to be achieved. You must be successful towards the end of your life. This is the very first thing that you're joyful about by your own nature, now you have a functioning intelligence which is not encumbered by any compulsions

Conclusion 

 I'm joyful means you are looking at things just the way they are. Only if you see things just the way they are, not from a prejudiced mind, simply the way they are, then you will also come up with solutions every day. Better and better solutions. If you cannot even see what is there because you have prejudiced opinions about everything, then how will a solution come?
