Daily Awareness Practices🔗

Every time you want something, sit by yourself and think if you really want it or you want it because someone else has it. Do an honest analysis of each of your desires when they surface. Drop all your prestige problems and do a self-analysis. If you can't drop your prestige when you are alone, how will you drop it when you are with people?

If you are able to live out only your desires, you will die a peaceful death, full of satisfaction even if it is on the platform. If you live your whole life with borrowed desires, you will never see real fulfillment and even if you are living in a marble house, you will have a prolonged death, pulling and pushing, unable to get liberated from your unfulfilled borrowed desires.

If you start comparing and living out others' desires, you will land yourself in deep trouble because you will not know where you stand. It is the most foolish and dangerous thing to do. Always measure yourself with your own meter, never with others' meters. What do you actually need/want/value? Start seeing your own meter from now on.
