Happiness Is Understanding

Happiness is understanding the cycle of things:
we do not empower charades.

We may not live in wealth or even have a comfortable life, but we understand the nature of reality, how the universe works, our likes and dislikes which divide us, and why things don’t seem to work, causing confusion.

We see the constant maintenance of global manipulation – even though it may be called mismanagement – for armchair warriors to complain about.

We see that wars create refugees, refugees migrate, migration disrupt others’ culture, disruption creates rebellion and division, and chaos ensues.

We see the long-term game, with wordplay giving cadence to one side or another, provoking division.

We see cause and effect, and we see ignorance of the cause.

Happiness is understanding that, through all this provocation, we remain at ease, aware that our true reality is pure, conscious awareness – the essence of mind – rather that the contents of mind that disrupt mind. We are happy to no longer be part of others’ confusion.

Clarity of mind is the brilliance of divine splendour.
The lucidity of pure consciousness cannot be ignored.

It is from this standpoint that true compassion can arise,
but it’s challenging.

No challenge, no journey.
Know challenge, know journey.
