The Human Predicament

The basic human predicament can not be solved by any positive explanation or statement. It is rested when you notice it. There is only one step; you have to disregard silently, spontaneously the relief offered by books, gurus, techniques, various entertainments and so on against your present state, which you call unsatisfactory.
No one can be essentially unhappy unless one is in immediate
physical danger. One is just talking about unhappiness, trying to
escape psychological uncomfortableness by ideas, explanations.
You can save yourself physically. But you can not save yourself
psychologically. Clearly seeing this lets one drop the issue of happiness.
One regains one's supremacy.
We see disorder outside. We can take action. Mind is enamoured as if
by dealing with outside disorder, order within will be established-one
will be happy. But within you there can be no disorder. Even if you
perceive disturbance within, it is ‘you’- it is in the field accessible to
you only. The disturbance within is in the format, which can not be
acted upon. If you see this, supreme relaxation takes over.
Now you can take action in respect of the outer disorder.
