the moment one his discovered one's truth. Then the whole sky is yours -- even the sky is not the limit.
The truth is vast, so vast that it can contain contradictions. It is so vast that it contains everything, from the smallest blade of grass to the biggest star -- it contains all.
And man can enter into this ocean very simply, just one small condition has to be fulfilled, one has to drop one's ego, the idea that 'I'm separate.' That's the only fallacy that keeps people away from God, away from truth, away from love, away from bliss. That's the only fallacy that creates hell and misery.
And it is good is one can become aware from this age, if one can become aware from one's childhood, then much can be saved, much unnecessary trouble can be saved.

He force him to learn, we tell him 'You are separate, you are special, you are this, you are that,' and the child certainly starts accepting the beliefs of the parents, of the teachers.

So the child starts thinking 'I have to be ambitious,' and ambition breeds the ego. Competition breeds the ego and ego brings misery. And you can see that everywhere all people are miserable.

They don't know where it is. They smile just to ba polite, to be formal, but there is no joy, there is no dance in their life. And life can be a great ecstasy. It is our birthright to be ecstatic.
Life should burst forth into thousands of flowers, roses and roses. Life should become a beautiful song, a dance. And it can all happen by a simple method: don't think
