The next revolution is not religious or political or industrial. It is going to be psychological where individual is empowered. Where enjoyment is not dependent upon weekends, intoxications, religious-spiritual activities.
Compulsion (work, job and so on) and relief (entertainment, religious-spiritual activities, addition to possessions and so on) pattern is so embedded in our mind that we have taken it to be natural. Unless this pattern is noticed, questioned – you remain seeking, living superficially.
One is so much attached to ‘relief’ offered by holidays, entertainment, religious and spiritual activities that one’s other days, other activities automatically become ‘compulsive’. This divide does not let one see ‘what is True’.
Religion-spirituality has also degenerated to the assumption that you have to work (as compulsion) and spirituality and so on will provide you practices, ideas for relief.
All complications arise for the individual as well as for the society as this divide is not seen, understood, solved. Once you notice your bondage to this pattern of compulsion – relief, fused state touches you.
What if something is presented to me in which I am disinterested or when I face irritating situations?
See the fact of disinterestedness; see the uneasiness disinterestedness is creating.
You can run away from a discomforting situation but not from the uneasiness it is creating within you. Once you notice – whole energy is gathered here.
Action emerges. Then either you do it or not do it. The side you take is hundred percent. You become conscious of doing or not doing it.
You have become the creative impulse of the Universe.
