Dialogs With Seekers of Truth - 11

11th Dialogue

Seeker
: Satyavan Hello, I was very happy with your text and I want to be more in touch, but many times I'm afraid to bother you again and again with my doubts and hesitations. Despite you already said several times for me to be comfortable, that it is of no bother to you. I laugh my jaws out when you mentioned about realizing the obvious (referring to happiness). Is it that obvious that I cannot see because I look for it where it is not? Recently I played with my children (at Easter) to hide Easter eggs for them to find. I put the eggs in a very obvious place and it took them a long time to find. Would that be more or less what your referring to?? I understand when I read or you say that the kingdom of God is in us, that we are happiness... but why do we insist on the same things? Why do we care about unimportant things? Why do we get jealous? Why do we have petty attitudes? Why do we kill ourselves working? Why don’t we truly love? ..... What is love?? What is life?? Who am I?? I think a lot about the "old man" as an enemy, and you told me to take good care of the old man. I have thought of that! I just cannot fool myself, thinking that taking care of the "old man" is to give green card to all. Gee! If happiness is so obvious, why am I not enjoying it? How to work well in the world of men?

Satyavan: When playing with your children, I suppose you experienced some kind of joy, but that joy was not in the children, but emerged from you, the scent reveals the flower. It is not necessary to find joy, but only to remove suffering ... The last question who am I, answers all other questions or removes them completely, however, there are still some impediments to ask that question freely... in a more superficial way, we can refer to philosophical, or ideological matters, that in a more intimate way, refers to the beliefs that you have about yourself, that immediately reflects in the beliefs that have about God. In a sense we can say that it is the man who makes God, creating him in his own image, and then with that created image he seeks great achievements ... Ingenuity at least. You don’t enjoy happiness at this moment, because you don’t believe you deserve, and your whole world was "built" upon of this belief. At this point this story is getting new shapes, it will intensify until transformation takes place; all this pressure serves this purpose. For a serious spiritual seeker it is the heart that commands, not the mind, this is already a big key. The heart speaks and the mind executes, it doesn’t question, it just promptly execute. It is for you and others like you that I'm here; not coming to me when you need is the same as not going for the water tap fearing the water to run out. You’re in a spiritual quest, don’t fool yourself, you need help. On the contrary of what may seem when you’re with your wife or friends: the path towards freedom is the Supreme Journey of who is called a human being, that's for what all this has served, it is the pinnacle of evolution!
