8th Dialogue
Seeker: Satyavan, thank you for your words. The city noise mixes with our internal noise and we end up leaving the inner search. I cannot lose focus. I remember I had a conversation with you about losing focus. How do we maintain focus?
Satyavan : It's all a question of real interest and discernment! Both these noises have the same nature whether external, or internal, and both these noises mask each other, the internal with the external, aside from that which you consider to be noise, there is much more masked noise internally and externally! Evaluate both your internal and external needs, evaluate impartially, and see for yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beggar in the material world or the spiritual world ... a beggar is always a beggar! Perhaps more important than walking from door to door in the hope that someone gives significant alms , and maybe one day you win the lottery , perhaps more important, is to question whether you are really a beggar ! Otherwise you risk waking up in a life that is not yours. What are the promises of this world? And does this world fulfill its promises? Do you need those promises?
You have a lot of willpower, in spite of having a lot of confusion but you are still a bit naive, but don’t underestimate the strength of willpower, because it makes you cross oceans! Resists this world and its noise, resists your weaknesses, and allows yourself to heal! You keep searching for the acceptance of your wife, of the people you know, or the new people with whom you will come across with… Let go of all those undertakings, let go of all those strategies you adopt, isolate yourself from all that, and seek support or several supports as you need in: massages for example, or go and see a movie, do something for your own enjoyment, something that makes you feel very well, without involving anyone else with this idea ever present: that everything I do is for my own cure, to cure this lack of self-love, of not accepting myself, of not liking myself... allow yourself to be your own source of pleasure and amusement, even indirectly... allow yourself to become the main focus of your life, all actions serve the purpose of getting to know yourself, of loving and accepting yourself , and have this in mind, don’t let anything become automatic, spend time with yourself, love yourself as you can, it doesn’t matter, give yourself gifts especially those gifts that contribute to your spiritual growth , because these are the ones that will bring real joy... make it possible, as if you couldn’t live without your own love and acceptance, which in reality you cannot live without, you can only barely survive... and ... if you can ... continue with your meditation... If the question has arisen in your mind, the isolation has nothing to do with the physical body; you can be in a crowd and be completely alone, just remove your attention from them.
