ABOUT THE TOPIC:
The call of discontentment is from your being. When you understand that, you turn towards spirituality. But when you don't understand that, you turn towards depression, because you don't know where you are missing it. You don't know where the thread is. You don't know what went wrong. Existence is always showering upon us. There is such abundance! But we are so well trained in the discipline of discontentment that we have become insensitive to what we receive. We always want more.
We all function around these three axes: doing, having and being. Doing for having, without enjoying being, is the sole cause of all our miser r, Doing never catches up with having. Every time we work hard and fulfill one desire, there are more desires to make us run.
Never think, 'let me work now, I can enjoy later.' Don't think you can come back later and enjoy! Every tomorrow comes in the form of today. Doing should lead to being in every moment, only then you are on the right track. Don't postpone living. Celebrate! Enjoy Life, it is now or never. We all run throughout our lives thinking we can enjoy later but we end up finally running into the graveyard. When you get on the running track you loose your real capacity to enjoy. You forgot how to enjoy.
