heartbreak: the necessary evil

When I'm able to talk to people I can be open with and what people I love I actually tell them that if it were up to me I would wish that your heart would break. 

I'm I'm sure that will scandalize most people when they hear it because that's not what you expect from a friend and someone who you love but if you truly ask me it's one of the greatest gifts that you can get especially in the modern world. 

You see in the modern world most of us are living like squirrels have you seen a squirrel level it just keeps going from one place to another one place or another running from here to there to Branch to Branch to leave to leave to not to not to Branch to last here to their process the road up up the tree down the tree behind another squirrel, essentially in the modern world that squirrel is our attention and that attention is us.

Let's say we keep doing that we live like a squirrel and we die what's the difference between the actual squirrel and us not much I would say. 

So then the question is what's the connection to being a squirrel and the heartbreak you see the goal of life is to find moksha and the first step toward moksha if you have bhakti that's great I think that's what that's a good step but if it's not deep enough heartbreak is that shock treatment that your soul that your existence needs to push you toward seeking moksha why do I say that? 

You see as long as we keep running around like a squirrel we keep getting some cheap dopamine everywhere whenever stop and think there is no break there is no speed breaker you see the heartbreak is that speed breaker that everyone needs in the modern world let's let's put this way most people need in the modern world unless your heart breaks really really breaks you don't even stop and ask questions and without asking questions you get nowhere you have to start asking questions about yourself your purpose your nature of reality God universe life call it what you want. 

And when your heart breaks and you're able to ask those questions and hopefully and again it's a necessary evil but not a sufficient condition it's an insufficient condition and then you have to combine that with finding the right guru to direct those energies in the right direction otherwise of course heartbreaks can also lead people to get into drugs and alcohol and all sorts of things that the resort to to fill the void that the heartbreak brings along, here is where the guru comes in the right kind of guru, that can help you after that questions and teach you about the nature of reality the nature of your mind teach you practices guide you through your mental havoc true stories he's not he's not your advisor he's not your therapy he's not a therapist he's a guru but that I mean you need to follow what he says of course you have to be very careful about finding the right discussion but assuming you have the right guru you follow you shut up and follow you shut up and listen you start asking questions, and those questions will eventually lead you to the truth about the layers of illusions that you've been living all along 

Life is better set of illusions and there are multiple levels of illusions I can't even begin to tell you on this particular block maybe that's a separate blog. 

But once you see through the illusions you're on your way to moksha but to see through the illusions you need to find varagya and for the viragya I think for most people are heartbreak is the fastest way to it, so you be lucky to find the right kind of a heartbreak and the right guru in your life and that will take you to your purpose for being born as a human being.
