Understanding Yourself and Others
Understanding the subtle aspects of yourself and others makes all the difference~
From the Land of Sorrow to the Land of Happiness
Rewritten for easier comprehension~Important to your spiritual health!!!
Many are searching. We search for the secret to happiness, for the way of the peaceful pilgrim, for the known and unknown secrets to self progress. Understanding is just the first baby step. Knowing who I am is the predominant key. The most sorrow we can make for ourselves is when we depend on other human bodies for happiness, love, security, etc. Have you noticed this? The human body, you may be giving all your love to, may not know who she/he truly is. Double Jeopardy!!!
Depending on others is so easy and so dis-empowering for those of us who seek self-sovereignty.

You have shared that to become perfect like You, one must remain constantly merged with Your Love. Then it would not be possible to look askance at another soul, for all that could be seen is goodness, love, well-being, and sweetness in the self and the other.
I wish to become perfect and be merged in Your Love, so what’s left? Just Do It, remember again and again, and then again…
Over time this must have an effect on the self and the world. So this is how one helps the Beloved to establish a perfect world of perfect beings living in perfect nature. By putting this “simple act” of staying merged in the Beloved’s Love, the perfect reward is received again and again, again…
