Have you ever wondered what it means to be alive? Is it merely to survive, fulfil some ambition, procreate, grow old, and poof… be gone?
Today, we are increasingly obsessed with ourselves. We are constantly trying to feed our bodies and minds with things which we think are best for them. But a pleasure-seeking mind is an easily bored mind, for it is always on the hunt for more.
When self preoccupation is our habitual way of being, our minds have a tendency to drift to the past or future. We go down this endless labyrinth where we are eaten away by our own suffering states of anxiety or regret.
To live with a sense of being connected means to move away from self absorption toward connection. That is authentic transformation. And that is when you are truly alive.
