and it's I feel there's so much compassion when I see people how they
how important things are to them how what importance they give not only to
physical things how much importance they gave to situations and what happens or
doesn't happen or a circumstance or how much power they place their in in the
world of form and it always they expect something from it that only the formulas
can give they expect to find themselves somewhere in there they expect happiness
through the world of form it can give you happiness briefly and then it takes
it away so you become dependent on what happens or doesn't happen and sometimes
it's the littlest tiniest things that make people unhappy and they I asked why
are you unhappy well this this has just happened so it's the the impossible
expectation that people place on the world they fulfill me make me happy the
world means places people situations circumstances doesn't matter all that
means the world so they make peace they have these expectations and demands and
no place no person no situation no circumstance can meet those demands for
long and this is why life is experienced by
most humans as very frustrating almost designed by some D some devious God to
frustrate you and many people experience their life as it's designed to frustrate
me continuously I've tried so hard and always something happens to frustrate
frustrate me of course there is an impossible demand being placed upon the
phenomenal universe and that demand is not only make me happy because true
happiness in the deepest sense is simply knowing yourself who you are beyond the
forms it's true and lasting joy and happiness but they are looking for
happiness through some imagined configuration of forms when my life when
those forms in my life those circumstances people places are in a
right configuration then it will be fine and it could even happen that for a
brief moment they are in the right configuration you just move to a
beautiful new home you just fell in love and the stock market has just gone up
and you're short the doctor says the other most healthy you have the host
healthy body I've ever seen everything is just right and then probably you
would claim the ego would claim some merit or achievement it would say I did
that
and because the world of form or the forms look solid this is the illusion
when you walk around especially in a city the the solid structures in manmade
the solidity of everything form look so solid and that's an illusion we don't
realize that the world of form is very much like vapour or mist
hey this is know that too they know that there's nothing solid here even the most
solid building can collapse in a moment the most grandest edifice whether it be
an office building or a temple you can collapse at any moment and sometimes
they do so they appear the apparent or solidity of form is an illusion to
anybody who hasn't been to India I recommend at least going there once to
experience that the physical universe the solidity of the physical universe is
an illusion in India it's much easier to know that because things are not that
solid in the physical realm things could go wrong at any moment and they
and it's beautiful and this may be the reason why India has produced the
greatest changes from the very very first spiritual awakening of humanity
happened there perhaps because the physical realm is less solid or the
illusion is less the illusion of solidity is less there than here so
because of the illusion of solidity that's you believe that there can be
something permanent in the phenomenal realm but very quickly here two things
saved change leave you or make you unhappy today it makes you happy
tomorrow it makes you unhappy that beautiful position that you've got the
hospital wife makes you happy then makes you unhappy anybody who has been through
more than one marriage and even those who still in one marriage know that the
person who makes you happy is also the person who makes you unhappy so the
demands that people place upon the manifested world are impossible make me
happy and when that the only way when that demand is dropped and sometimes
this dropping this letting go of that demand can happen when the world has
totally frustrated you totally so much has gone wrong so to speak which means
not really wrong but against the expectations against what I wanted and
needed that you let go of any further expectations not in a negative sense
because if you let go of any further expectations in a negative sense that
means then you are saying who cares I don't want to know any more I'm I'm done
with the world you're not there's still a lot of attachment but but a true
letting go when perhaps you even smile or laugh come it's all crumbled one once
again it's and no further expectations are placed from the manifest state then
suddenly you sense this enormous peace
what is that everything has gone wrong and yet there's this deep sense of
rightness so that can happen in cases where people become totally frustrated
it can also happen in a spiritual teaching to see when you are ready to
see that readiness is there because the frustrations have already been there you
wouldn't have come otherwise that's already been there and then suddenly you
see the demands and part of the demands very essential part of this demand that
is placed upon the phenomenal world is the demand
that the future should make you happy because that is very the next moment the
need for the next moment and it is a great act of letting go when the
psychological need for the next moment is relinquished that's always an
essential part of coming to an end of placing expectations because every
expectation that you place from the world to some extent implies future and
so it's a wonderful thing that demands that are made upon places people or
situations or circumstances are not there and then you are comfortable with
places as they are because no matter what place you go to it could be ideal
in your imagination when you actually get there something will be there that
is not ideal any whatever place you go to and person and circumstance and
that's the thing that frustrates you and that demand is not made anymore it could
be a simple thing even a demands you place upon people understand me
he doesn't understand me my parents don't understand me
my children don't understand me so is that so bad
they understand what they can understand their stage of evolution they understand
just enough for them to understand they are okay with not understanding you
don't realize that nothing is added to you by having somebody understand you
accepts a psychological thought form that see then say oh it's confirmation
that I exist he's confirmed that I exist what is that existence that needs
confirmation that you exist or confirmation of the world some people
think they need fame fame is totally overrated there's nothing in it that's
why some famous actors are interested in this teaching they realized how empty
that thing is called Fame if Fame fulfilled them would they come to this
teaching what for they're fulfilled by Fame by recognition
everybody recognizes how beautiful or great they are source isn't that
fulfilling know you think it's fulfilling when you don't have it and
when you have it it's fulfilling for a little moment and then it's no longer
fulfilling and you see it's another way of finding this dimension one way is
being totally frustrated in getting nothing
another way is getting everything and being totally frustrated
and some famous actors go to drugs they don't they try to deaden the frustration
that they feel which ultimately is a form of pain they tried to deaden it
that way famous people many have been very unhappy committed suicide but some
others see that so it doesn't really matter whether it's through achieving
everything or achieving nothing you find it for most of you it's kind of a
mixture you have experienced success to some extent and failure to some extent
and you have experienced success turning into its opposite
