If u accept the now...u want it..u cannot become unhappy

Jun 7 Aft

Father, thank U for guiding me to Sadhguru. I am thankful for the practices. It allows me to free my mind and gave me rest, peace and joy.

This morning I was laughing loads during aum chanting. I felt so much better.

Diamond Heart - Book 1
If u r attached to anything, there is suffering, especially for fear of loss of it. If u have something, u r afraid of losing it; if u don't have it, u r frustrated and suffering the absence. There is no rest or peace because something always has to be done to keep the desired object there.

The very holding onto heaven is the hell. Pain is not separate from pleasure, heaven is not separate from hell. Psychological pain is just the attempt to hold on to the pleasure itself; this is the origin of all emotional pain.

As long as u desire freedom, as long as u desire happiness, they will elude u.

As long as u want something that is not what is there, at that moment there is a division, a war.

Tot of Sadhguru's saying; u r happy as long as what u want is there.
So that means u r not happy when what u want is not there.
Wanting is equivalent to accepting.
Happiness is just a result.
So, by not choosing what to want, by accepting, at least sadness won't arise.

A tot came; my 80/20 rule. 20 percent u love, 20 percent u hate, 60 percent is neutral. So, by being in neutral circumstances, I don't feel sad
By avoiding things I don't want, I definitely don't fee sad.
But what eludes me is the possibility of happiness as I don't really know what I want.
My game in life is avoidance as I know what I don't want.

Diamond Heart - Book 2
It doesn't matter what u think u want at any given moment. It doesn't matter whether u think it's good or bad. That's not the point. The point here is the movement of the attitude of rejection, the attitude of wanting and desiring. The content is irrelevant.
U might be experiencing misery and want happiness. Or u might be experiencing freedom and feel afraid of losing it. U might be experiencing something wonderful and want to hold on to it, not want it to change.
It is all the same movement. There is a division in ur experience and there is a struggle. It is not peace. It is not harmony, it is not freedom. It is conflict and violence.

Soul
Suddenly tot of Acceptance of NOW.
