You know,
As a Westerner,
I know for myself I had tremendous fears about turning inside.
I remember getting a call when I was 25 and thinking to myself,
Well,
Maybe when I'm 40 then I'll bother and wake up.
I'll bother to,
You know,
Find out the meaning for my life.
But the way my life went,
It was like as if there was another plan and it was basically forcing me to turn and look at myself.
And,
You know,
Once I turned that way and turned inside,
Life got so much more meaningful and interesting and boredom disappeared.
And now I look and I go,
Oh,
I can't imagine living a life that was,
You know,
Focused on the external.
So I'm just making this video really to reassure you that if you do turn inside,
You will find a masterpiece in your heart,
An absolute masterpiece of who you were born to be.
And you will find talents and capacities that you didn't even know you had.
But maybe you feel like I used to feel that.
I used to feel I was just more intelligent than it ever showed.
I never could express it.
Or I know sometimes people around 16,
They have a secret feeling of being great.
And we are great.
We're these geniuses because we're these immortal beings in human form.
And when we turn inside,
We can discover this.
Now,
You know,
In the East,
They have all the ancient traditions,
But we don't.
And so we're just like toddlers learning.
And there's a lot of,
You know,
Misinformation around or confused information.
I don't think it's malicious.
It's just confused.
But it is possible to find good teaching on the internet.
Yeah.
You can actually feel if a teacher is really awake or not,
Because there'll be maybe a feeling of expansion that you get listening or a feeling of peace.
Yeah.
I remember with my teachers,
That's kind of how I decided who was real and who wasn't was with the real ones.
I just got this immediate feeling of peace and safety.
Yeah.
It was like a little child just going up and hugging a stranger knowing that the stranger was a good guy or good woman.
And there was no danger.
The same principle.
Yeah.
Well,
Just bless your heart.
And just this is just a plug that it's safe to look inside a bit that you're a work of art,
And you can take some time for yourself.
Not like getting your hair done or your nails done or anything.
Just time for you,
Like your for your soul.
Yeah.
To get to know yourself and to become friends with yourself.
Yeah.
Okay.
May it be easy to do this.
May you get all the support you need.
Bless your hearts.
