A Life for Only Me Is Not Fulfilling - 23rd February 2018

Which was asked yesterday: Guruji said something like, 'If this life is only for me, I don't want it.' Can you speak about it, please?

Yes, that if it is just restricted to... like I would say that if this life were just being played out, you know, where it is only for Ananta—what Ananta wants, what he wants to do next, what are the experiences he wants to experience—this desire for what I would like, what I want, as to do to get those desires, if this life was just for that, I would not feel like having that. Because that's exactly what has been crossing, you see? In fact, this one with so-called Ananta is just another appearance in the field of your own delicate consciousness. So, we would not want this universality now to become constricted only back to the person: 'What's in it for me?' and 'What should I do to get it?'

It's a bit like discovering the ocean and then trying to fit it in the cup. So, it seems that there is one savoring in the play of this life, which is like the play of all other lives which are appearing in this now. This Being, this consciousness, is no longer believing itself to be just restricted to any one person. This is the feeling here about what he would have meant. Of course, it's just paraphrasing Guruji; I hope it captures the essence of what he was trying to say.
