Survive

Oh, my friend, how can you survive without Love?

Love is where the heart is unmistakably present. If you don’t recognize Love, you might wake up in the morning, drag yourself to work, and even make it through the day, but how miserable that would be! What a miserable existence! There is so much suffering precisely because of that: chasing what doesn’t fulfill and doesn’t feel.

It’s common among us humans. We run away, we escape, we numb ourselves. Some people even choose pain, which is also unhealthy.

We long for connection. When we forget our connection to That, we replace it with something simpler or more primitive: money, property, cars, and other objects. They are easy targets. They’re easy to count: one, two, three, and so on—thousands, millions, billions—whatever.

Only those who have actually achieved their goals, realised their vision, and obtained what they wanted truly realise that none of these things fulfill them. It is only once you have achieved your dreams that you truly experience the emptiness and lack that you had hoped those objects would fill.
