Summary

Life is extraordinarily simple: we are conscious beings living on a tiny planet spinning through vast empty space for a very short period of time. We did not create our bodies nor the rest of nature that surrounds us, yet we try to own and manipulate them, believing our happiness depends on controlling life. But true happiness comes from learning to handle reality, then working with it to create something beautiful. This involves practicing openness, letting go of past blockages, and refusing to build a self-concept out of personal likes and dislikes. By doing so, we rediscover our natural shakti flow and evolve into beings who can live with love and freedom instead of suffering.

1:41.5	There's so much out there, but somehow we can't handle it. We can't handle
1:49.7	having dropped down onto a planet in middle of nowhere, staying here for a few years,
1:56.3	and then leaving. We have trouble about the leaving apart, which is just absurd. You're going to leave.
2:08.1	So you'll understand that. Spirituality is simple. You were born here. Why? You just, I don't know,
