As I slowly chip away at my own ignorance and Ego I am beginning to realize more and more that the recipe to happiness is quite simple; more on this in a moment. It is the difficulties in discarding ones own programmed beliefs that takes work. Hard work. I often equate it to a proverb of a man coming across a Buddhist monk who was slowly brushing a feather across a huge bolder. The man stopped and asked "What are you doing?"
The monk replied, "This bolder represents my ignorance. I am breaking it down with this feather."
Shocked, the man cried out "That's impossible!"
"No". Smiled the monk. "It only requires patience."
With patience anything is possible. You can move mountains with your mind.
Before you act. Before you speak. Embrace three things before you proceed.
Make no comparison.
Make no judgement.
Delete your need to understand.
The Ego is the bolder. The three above mentioned are the feather. With patience you will set your mind free and find true happiness. Easier said than done but it works. Try it for yourself and see.
