Chapter 12 Section Eleven

※※※ Don't have to look for a home because there is no home. Find your own, because there's a home out there! ※※※ Love is beautiful but it keeps changing, it is beautiful but you cannot depend on it.It is there today, but not tomorrow.Love is sweeter than trust, more natural than trust, but trust is a higher quality. In dictionaries, the meaning of the word "trust" is almost always misunderstood.In the dictionary, it means to trust someone who is trustworthy; it is more objective - because that person is trustworthy, you trust him.It is not your quality, your trust is based on the quality of others.Because there are few people who can be trusted, millions of people have forgotten what trust is because they have no chance to trust.A trustworthy person is needed, but there are no trustworthy people everywhere.

No one trusts anyone, so the word "trust" becomes a word without substance, it has never been experienced, it is just a word with no life in it, no flavor in it. When I use the word "trust," it's quite different: I'm not saying you should trust anyone who is trustworthy, that's not trust.That person is trustworthy, so that's not your glory.When I say "trust", I mean that you trust that person no matter what, whether that person is trustworthy or not, in fact, when he is not trustworthy, and you trust... only then, you will Find for the first time something new arising from your consciousness, and then trust becomes a very luminous phenomenon, far superior to love because it does not need anything from another.

※※※ Truth can only be experienced by a man who is independent, totally autonomous, living in freedom. ※※※ When you say, "I love you," there is a subtle possessiveness in it. Although it has not been said, everyone understands: "Now you are my possession, no one else should love you again." In trust there is no question of possessing the person you trust, instead you are saying, "Please possess me, destroy my ego, help me disappear into you so that I follow you without any resistance." Love is a constant struggle and struggle. Love will demand. "I love you" means "you must love me too".In fact, I love you only because I want you to love me.It's an easy transaction, so there's a fear of saying, "You shouldn't love anyone else, and nobody else should love you, because I don't want anyone else to be a partner in my love, Be a sharer in this love of mine."

The unconscious mind of human beings has always thought of love as a quantity, they think love has a certain quantity: "If I love you, then you should have the whole quantity; If I love some other people then that amount will be divided and you will not get the full amount of it. " Hence the jealousy, spying, bickering and nagging, all the ugly stuff going on behind the pretty word love. In trust there is no question of quarreling, in fact it is a surrender.When you say, "I trust you." It means, "From this moment on, my fight with you stops, and now I am yours."

※※※ Trust has no tinge of competition, and therefore no envy.You can trust me, and thousands of people can trust me.In fact, the more people who trust me, the happier you'll be, and you'll be happy to say that so many people do.Not so in the case of love. ※※※ Trust does have a higher value than love, trust implies love, but in love, trust is not included.When you say, "I trust you," then we can understand that you are loving. But when you say you love, trust has nothing to do with it.In fact, there is suspicion in your love, you are very distrustful, you are very afraid, you are always watching the one you love.Lovers almost become detectives, spying on each other.

If love is part of trust, then it is beautiful, because trust cannot be without love. ※※※ When you say "I love you" it is not a surrender, it is not ready to be dissolved, it is not ready to be carried into unknown and unknowable spaces.When you say "I love you", you are on equal footing, and it has a certain aggressive equality in it. But when you say "I trust you" it's a deep surrender, an openness, a receptivity, a statement to yourself and to the universe saying, "Now even if this man takes me to hell It doesn't matter, I trust him. If it looks like hell to me, I must be wrong, and he can't take me to hell."

In trust you will always find your own faults. In love, you are always looking for your lover's faults. In trust, without saying it, you're always in a sorry state: "I'm ignorant, I'm lethargic, unconscious. I could say or do something wrong, so be kind to me." A little, a little compassion." There are many things hidden in trust, it is such a treasure. ※※※ On the true journey of life, your own intuition is your only guide. ※※※ Rather than chasing after that which is sought, it is better to seek the seeker himself.When you find the seeker itself, suddenly you will find that the whole existence is your home, so wherever you go, you are at home.

Just find yourself and you will find that the whole existence is your home. ※※※ The world of "more" is the world of ordinary people. The world of not chasing "more", the world of not chasing any goal ahead of you, but just seeing that moment where you are and who you are, and the "being" that jumps into your consciousness - that's the only Revolution, one religion and one spiritual life. ※※※ This little life that you have can be transformed into a paradise. This earth is the paradise of the lotus. ※※※ This earth is a whole.We should be very proud that our planet is in this vast universe, in this universe that contains countless solar systems and countless planets... Our planet is the only one that has evolved, not only in life, not only in There is evolution in consciousness, which even produced the final flowering of consciousness in Buddha, Lao Tzu, Tiropa, and many others.

We should be proud of the planet Earth. ※※※ When I say that everything but man is a living truth--the sea, the clouds, the stars, the stones, the flowers, everything is truth, and everything is not mixed with anything else but itself, no Wear any mask, only man can deceive others and deceive himself - you must remember that this is a great opportunity, it should not be condemned, it must be praised, because even if a rosebush or a lotus wants to Lie, it can't do it either.Its truth is not freedom, its truth is a bondage, it cannot go beyond its boundaries. Man has the privilege, man has the privilege of being unreal, and that means man is free to choose.If he chooses to be true, he is not choosing bondage, but truth and freedom.Freedom is his prerogative.In the whole of existence no one else is free, but while he has the opportunity he is also in danger.

When you have freedom, you can also go wrong. Not a rose can go wrong, not a stone can go wrong, but you can go wrong, so there must be a deep awareness penetrating you of every action, every thought, every feeling. Only man needs to pursue the truth, everything else already has truth, but they do not have the brilliance of freedom.You have to seek it, you have to find it, but in that seeking and finding you are glorious, you are the king of existence. ※※※ Misfortune is only because you choose. You choose the experience of love and the feeling of ecstasy, but because you choose, you are caught in a natural process.You will cling to these feelings, but they are not eternal, they are part of a wheel that is always spinning.

Just like day and night, if you choose day, how can you avoid night?Evening will come.The night does not bring misfortune and misery, it is because you have chosen the day and condemned the night that misfortune and misery arise. Every choice ends in misfortune and pain. No choice is bliss. There is no choice but to let go. It means that day comes, and night comes; success comes, and failure comes; the day of glory comes, and the day of condemnation comes -- because you have not chosen anything, so whatever comes is all right to you, All good. Slowly, slowly, you will see a distance arise within you: The circle will go on turning, but you will not be stuck in it, it doesn't matter to you whether it is day or night.You have become your own center, you are not attached to something else, you have not created your center somewhere else. The whole question is whether you can live without making any choices.Whatever comes you enjoy it.When it goes away and then something else comes, you enjoy it too.The day is beautiful and the night has its own beauty, why not enjoy both.You can enjoy both only when you are not attached to one. ※※※ Therefore, only a person who does not choose can squeeze out the juice of life completely. He will never feel unhappiness and pain. No matter what happens, he will find a way to enjoy it. That's the whole art of living -- finding ways to enjoy life.But one basic condition must be remembered: to be choiceless.You can be choiceless only if you are alert, aware, mindful, otherwise you will fall into the trap of choice. Life is indeed an art, a great art, and the shortest prescription is choiceless awareness, which applies to all situations and all problems. Once you have fully accepted life -- and life includes death -- then death is not against life, but just a servant of life, just as sleep is a servant.Your life is eternal, it will always exist forever, but your body is not eternal, it has to be changed.It gets old, and then it's better to get a new body, a new form, instead of dragging the old body along. For me, a man of understanding will not have any problems, he will see clearly, and then the problems will disappear and there will be a great silence, a silence of great beauty and great blessing.
