BETTER ISN'T BETTER

[Pravin Kumar]

Better Isn’t Better:

Until you embrace the energy of just being with what's occurring right now, you will continue to seek what you think will make life better and miss out on the reality of simply what’s in place...

A better life is never better because it's the way you may want it, it's better when you can accept it the way it is. Everything that occurs in life is the best it can be because it's what's there and although it may be labeled better or worse, neither one of these labels changes what occurs. The Conditioned Mind constantly pushes away what it labels as not liked and it constantly tries to pull in what it sees as better, but what's not understood is that both of these energy’s are the same. It's like positive and negative energy, on the surface these energies seem like total opposites, but upon further investigation what's revealed is positive and negative are from the same energy; both push and pull. On the surface these energies produce different results, and because people are controlled by results (the ones that make life better) they think positive is better because it makes life the way you think it should be. I'm not one for positive affirmations because that also is the energy of wanting things different (better). Not needing things to be better (different) allows you to be in the space of stillness with what's actually occurring without labeling it, this is true peace.

This peace doesn't need anything better, there's no needing anything different when there's peace. Needing life better energy only arises when the mind is agitated and it’s not realized this is occurring. This is why being with what occurs in the present moment is so valuable; there's no needing life better energy. When you’re present, you are free and at peace. The Conditioned Mind is a liar and makes you believe all kinds of nonsense that makes you succumb to the needing life better energy. Until you embrace the energy of just being with what's occurring right now, you will continue to seek what you think will make life better and miss out on the reality of simply what’s already in place...
