Life Lessons: When do you know your life has changed?

The definition of who we are, keep changing moment to moment. You are not one entity. You are continuously changing. It is a rare individual who can maintain an integrity - bring together, oneness. It is a rare individual whose mind does not keep changing but has a constancy underneath. As far as most of us are concerned, our minds keep fluctuating.

So, our mind keep changing from moment to moment. And whatever is the quality of our mind at that particular moment, that is what we are. Nothing else.

Come to the point of seeing the uselessness of your pursuits. Till the time you believe that you have the ability to change yourself, you find that nothing is changing. When the belief that you can change yourself disappears, then real change happens, silently. Real change is the realization that I cannot change. That I am petty.

A great change happens when you see what is happening. To not to see what is happening is to continue the happening. Just pause and look at what you've been doing. Freedom from fear comes from realising that the entire story is fear, that the whole substance of your life is steeped in fear. Too see that your effort will not change the I. Whatever you will do will further the I. Whatever fear will do, will not bring fearlessness.

You cannot change something without understanding it. Understanding is change. But the very desire to change hinders the understanding. Stop this effort at becoming. Stop trading one fear for the other. Stop hoping for change. One cannot get rid of sleep by changing dreams.
