Dialogs With Seekers of Truth - 5

5th Dialogue

Seeker: Hello Satyavan, how am I doing there? heheehe ... I've read this article several times and each time I read I understand it differently. I identify a lot with him because I see I have experienced several examples of it, mainly the part of wanting to teach the path without having traveled through it... what a shame! “The Blind leading the blind". I feel really in circles always arriving at the same place as you say. Thoughts that I know will hurt me, I insist in thinking them. Why?
I'm unhappy in my job, I cannot feel pleasure in it, I just do it for money ... I would drop it, but what about bills?? Once again what a shame!! I fit perfectly in this article ... When will I have the courage to abandon illusion, or when will I know what is to abandon illusion? ... In regards of my job, if I abandon it and go to another, will I be happy there? Or is it best to seek pleasure in the current job, because it is a worthy job in this worlds the point of view! Do I really want to break with illusion, as you say ... or I just want to feel better? Till when? What is to break with illusion? Sorry if I'm repeating myself.

 

Satyavan: Hello friend, you’re always welcome! When stopping the conflict with yourself, you will see how "everything" earns softer colors ... when you literally leave yourself alone, you will see "everything" more clearly ... while the conflict continues, this persecution for yourself, an affliction that seems to have no end will persist... Learn to smile to the thoughts that emerge "in there", don’t give them importance, smile to those inner accusations that emerge "there", all of this are the "anchors" of illusion ... and have no value, beyond that which you assign to them... Happiness has nothing to do with scenarios/circumstances; if you continue to seek happiness in scenarios/circumstances you will always have the same experience... But when, instead of seeking happiness in scenarios/circumstances, you make them an expression of your happiness, of your joy, then naturally, the old scenarios change, even if only to your eyes, but usually they do change. The value of the scenarios/circumstances will remain the same, no value whatsoever! It will continue to be unreal, only the perception of the experience will appear different ... For those who seek comfort, well-being, it may be important, but for those seeking Truth, it will be irrelevant, however it may even be a result of that search for Truth. The story unfolds ... all that which you call your life with all that which you call your understanding, is showing itself empty of meaning, is showing its true nature, the truth in you is a breaking with all that you call your life... Through that road the most natural is that things will change, which apparently slows it all down, are your fears: at least that is what we would say, if by chance the story was the important thing, or at least this side of the story, but this achievement of conquering fears will lead you to awake. Discover your fears and conquer them, live them without running away until they lose their importance! Joy is "there" no need to look for it, just let go of your fears...
