THE WORLD IS A SEVEN STAR GUEST HOUSE - YET PERPETUALLY DISSATISFIED

  THE WORLD IS A SEVEN STAR GUEST HOUSE - But we are perpetually                                                                                  dissatisfied.

   TRAPPED PRISONER OR FREE BIRD

You are not a prisoner in this beautiful wonderful world, but if you do feel trapped with your back against the wall, then seriously you need to examine yourself and stop blaming the world. The very same environment does not make everyone else imprisoned and trapped. This world is a mirage, an illusion of your mind. It is a magical wonderland where you derive what you want and expect out of it. It does not produce sorrow and grief. It gives back pure experiences, only, like a mirror reflecting back into your face.                         

   COMPLAINING IS ILLEGITIMATE

Unfortunately you extract total misery from it, because your mind projects it. It is termed mental projection. It is your own creation. Your mind makes life a sad affair. Since the mind has extraordinary powers, both positive and negative, you end up with extraordinary sufferings, sorrows, and grief. This complaining is illegitimate, unfounded and wrongly perceived. You are grieving over trifles and things that do not deserve grief.     

UNHAPPY SELLER & OVERJOYED BUYER OF SAME HOUSE

The haves are unhappy with all the comforts, while the have not’s are equally unhappy without those comforts. A house is up for sale. The seller wants to get rid of it. The buyer wants to own it. Both parties are happy with one deal, the same house. This phenomenon is true in our relationships too. First we want each other badly and madly. After a couple of years we get tired of each other and want to divorce our partners, get new ones for you, no, second hand in reality, or continue to live together hating each other like sour lemons for various reasons.                

YOUR ENTRY

You come into this world as a love product of two loving people. You are the most wanted guest entering the ten star facilities, the planet Earth, your temporary Guest House. You do not bring a truck load of supplies for your long 90 years of stay here. You come with just a carry on baggage of your physical body knowing well that you will be taken care of. Everything is provided for your comfort and enjoyment in this magnificent guest house much in abundance, exceeding your merger requirements, yet you experience an over whelming sense of scarcity.

SEVEN OCEANS FOR YOU YET YOU ARE DEHYDRATED

Seven gigantic oceans of water have been strategically positioned for your hydration needs, but you are found dehydrated at most times. You will unknowingly flush down 50 liters of filtered, drinkable water into the toilets but refuse, hesitate and simply forget to consume even one liter of water in your human system. Some oceans are ice capped and some are boiling hot waters near the equator. This differential helps move the waters around and churn up the marine life. Rich top soil has been deposited on land for you to grow your food and fodder. It is even irrigated by overflowing rivers to facilitate the crops of fruits and vegetables, herbs and trees, woods and forests. It can sustain billions of people for hundreds of years if used carefully maintaining the ecological balance. Despite this entire splendor, you slaughter animals to satisfy your palate and hunger.

  MILES OF DILUTED OXYGEN  BUT YOU BREATHE LIKE A MISER 

The spherical guest house is specially enveloped with diluted oxygen for hundreds of kilometers deep into the sky and hermetically sealed with a super sensitive ozone layer, to divert the harmful radiations coming from the sun, and prevent the nitrogen and oxygen from escaping into the space beyond. Yet, you breathe like a miser, taking shallow breadths, resulting in toxic blood levels. How pathetic is your story. I feel sorry for you. The all-powerful sun has been located millions of kilometers away from us, for a very good reason. The highly toxic rays, ultra violet, infrared, and others radiations are very harmful for our bodies and health. However we do require heat and light for nourishing all life on our planet. Unfortunately we do not venture out in the sun as much as we should, to get our needed doses of vitamin D.

BEAUTIFUL FORESTS OUTSIDE BUT YOU PREFER TO STAY INSIDE

We rarely explore the colorful gardens of Eden, the virgin rain forests over crowded with beautiful birds, exotic plants, and interesting creatures coexisting very peacefully. A life time is too short to enjoy all that this guest house has to offer to us. Alas, we spend majority of our time indoors pursuing cheap pleasures and sleeping. This luxurious resort is not what you asked for yet it is there for you to walk, run, frolic, and gambol as you please. In such a heavenly paradise if you still feel melancholy, then surely it is by mistake. Therefore let us analyze this mistake on your part, which makes your life a misfortune.

   IGNORANCE IS THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM

The fundamental problem for all mankind can be summed up in one word: IGNORANCE. It is the lack of knowledge of the functioning of this Universe. Our upbringing and programming of the mind is so damn faulty, that we end up as failures. A sense of duality is deeply ingrained, when we are very impressionable and innocent. We feel division of self, leading to feelings of uneasiness. We scream on top of our voices, “All is not well with me”. We act as inadequate, unfulfilled, and incomplete. These emotions are reinforced many times over resulting in self-condemnation, self-demeaning and limited in multiple ways. We believe that we are seriously crippled and handicapped in major facets, physically, intellectually, psychologically, and spatially.           

THE MICROBES OF DUALITY / EXCLUSIVENESS

These are very dangerous parasites. Many times fatal too. Most of us will easily recognize them instantaneously. The roots of such toxic microbes are found in the extreme stages of I ME MINE EGO SELFISHNESS culminating into NARCISSISM. The tell tale signs / pointers are obvious as follows :

Dual faced / Dual hearted - On the surface one displays politeness & false humility but inside the furnace of Bitterness,it is boiling to an over flow point. This leads to two separate personalities, harsh kind for the home maker / family & the gentle kind for the outside public. 

Arrogance, shouting, & rages of anger become the perfect cover for ones personal Low self esteem / limited skills, other deficiencies. 

Controlling others / immediate family is a ploy to show false superiority leading to long & extended periods of Sulking, locking oneself up, crying & distancing self from family. One is always in tension & unable to relax. One must win all the small battles & the big war too. 

Provoking the enemy, becomes his past time & full time hobby. One wants arguments to keep busy & in the game. Death threats, suicide warnings are often used to the enemy guessing & on their toes. 

Telling lies, fabricating tall stories, playing the blame game is all one is adept at & can do with eyes closed. These strange people fall in the BI-POLAR category, which is not made known to the public ever & most of the times to themselves too. Height of ignorance can be measured from such examples.  

WANTING TO BE DIFFERENT

We live in a state of not accepting ourselves as we, thus want to be different, from whom we are. Now, we have a full-fledged internal war, perpetual conflict of ideologies, and personalities. The agony and dilemma of choices, this girl or that woman leaves us helpless and overwhelmed with hundreds of fears. On top of all this we are plagued by dozens of likes and dislikes. All of the above negativity ruins our true sense of perception of the Universe and all that is happening in it to us. We become seekers, seeking, desiring, wanting, a never ending wanting. We are conditioned to be beggars of happiness. We come to believe blindly in many things out of fear and clouded judgments. A belief is a judgment prior to gaining knowledge and subject to verification by inquiry. Since we have no mindset of inquiry and inclination to verify, we continue to hold on to our baseless beliefs till death.

KNOW THY SELF

The darkness of ignorance can be removed by the light of knowledge of self.  Who we really are? This single piece of information makes a world of difference in our lives. It also turns the tables on us. It is important to be wise than to be otherwise. We are matter vivified by Consciousness. We are pure Awareness, which is limitless, formless, all pervasive, timeless, action less and self-effulgent. We are complete, totally liberated and perpetually happy beings. We are joyful beings at peace with ourselves and happily doing whatever must be done. This miraculous secret is concealed very intricately inside us and it can be unraveled only by ourselves, with our own effort and lots of hard work.

  THAT THOU ART,  IS THE KING OF ALL SECRETS

The king of all secrets is, THAT THOU ART. That, what you seek outside of yourself. Thou meaning you the self and Art implying you already are. You already have what you seek. It is so simple yet terribly complex or complicated to comprehend and implement. It is impossible and erroneous to want something when it is already present inside you. Hence it is a big mistake and illegitimate action of seeking, wanting and desiring. Before this knowledge you could not conclude, but after having this revelation, conclusion is unnecessary because knowing is self-conclusive and not subject to interpretation and negation.

   EXPLOSIVE BRILLIANCE OF THE SOUL CAN NOT BE NEGATED

We are fusion of Mind and Awareness which results in an explosive brilliance and effulgence. We are cosmic awareness, subtle matter, cause, absolute, real, and eternal. We are the subject which cannot be negated. We are also NOT, the awarer, gross matter, the effect, relative, apparent, and temporary mortal sentient. We are not the object which we often think and believe we are. Our true nature is joyful. Our bodies cannot tolerate any foreign stuff. It has to be expelled as quickly as possible - A dust particle in your eye or a worm in your stomach. The same is true for sorrow and grief. It is alien to our nature and is contradictory. In love we are one. The flame of love fuses two into one. The other is totally accepted for the time being, no division. But in a fight, and hate we are separate from the other. We are two and the other must be annihilated.

DE-LINKING REWARD FROM ACTION

The second part of the KING OF SECRETS is the universal laws of nature and how they work. The cosmic laws of nature are impartial and they never fail. These laws can be understood but not changed or altered. Our actions in this world are rewarded by the application of these cosmic laws. The rewards of our actions can be diluted, delayed and handed down in the next life or another future life. It is in no hurry and always very patient. Today we perform actions with expectations of big rewards, but when we see the rewards not forth coming we get disappointed, frustrated and angry. Our reactions and attitudes towards the rewards of our actions are another big mistake and part of the fundamental problem of mankind. The secret is to go on performing your actions without any attachment to the rewards. If we delink the actions and the rewards, then the problem can be resolved very easily. Just be a witness to the action and not an unconscious doer of action. Another aspect to this business of payment for actions is to accept the fruits what ever they are, very gracefully like a “Prasad” a gift from heavens. The meaning of Prasad is, “absence of sorrow”. Bear in mind that many times there may not be any fruit at all immediately.

YOUR EXIT

When your stay of 90 years, more or less, in this guest house is over, you have to leave to return to your HOME, just as you came, empty handed, with no baggage at all. All your riches and wealth do not go with you. They belong to this earth and must be recycled again and again. This time you do not take your carry on baggage even, of your old diseased worn out body with you. The benevolent earth takes care of your body and disposes it off very efficiently to the various elements of nature, except the bones. A miser is a person, who leaves this world without knowing the truth about self, for he has not used this vast wealth of human intellect to inquire into the purpose of life and enhance it by adding value to it.               

HAVE COMPASSION & EMPATHY

You are not alone in this guest house. You share it equally with many more guests just like yourself who may look different and speak strange languages. Therefore you must take extra care to leave the ten star resorts in good condition for others to enjoy it after you leave. Please do not pollute and defile the marvelous resources of this planet. They are self-renewing like our bodies.

NO CHARGE MOTEL

Also bear in mind that there is no charge for your lodging here, and no bills to pay for boarding, and all that you consumed so shamelessly and wasted so wantonly.  How do you expect to pay back? You cannot. You have nothing of your own to give. You lived in and off the guest house, gratis. The only currency that is accepted by the benevolent Host is the currency of Gratitude. An attitude of thankfulness is enough to please the Host. Therefore be humble and grateful throughout the entire duration of your stay in the beautiful Guest House. See you again in your next life friend.
