Gift #654

Life has the potential to become a song of bliss, but there is every possibility of missing it too. It depends: you can make it, you can destroy it. It is just your work upon yourself. And the most strange thing is: to create misery is difficult and to create bliss is easy, but people always choose the difficult thing, because the difficult thing always gives them an ego-trip.

The ego is not interested in easy things but is interested only in difficult things. The more impossible a thing looks, the more attractive it feels for the ego, because the ego feels a challenge, and only through challenge can it conquer, can it prove to the world "I am somebody special". Misery gives you challenge, bliss is very simple. Trees are blissful, birds are blissful. It needs no special talent to be blissful. To be miserable one needs talents, one has to be really very very clever to be miserable. Bliss is innocent!!!

For example...

☹ The person who wants to be miserable has to think in terms of fighting with life.
😊 The person who wants to be blissful has to be a non-fighter, surrendered to life, in a kind of let-go.

☹ The person who wants to be miserable has to create great ideals, has to make impossible demands upon himself. Then only can you be miserable; otherwise you will not be miserable. You have to be this, you have to be that, and when you cannot be, frustration settles in.
😊 The man who wants to be blissful has no ideals at all, he is a non-idealist; he is a realist and lives moment to moment with no ideals. You cannot frustrate him because he has no expectations.

☹ The miserable person always condemns himself because he is not rising high enough to fulfil the demands. He is a constant condemnor; he lives in self-condemnation.
😊 The blissful person is very accepting of himself. He makes no demands. He is relaxed, at ease with himself; he loves himself as he is.

So the first truth has to sink deep in the heart: 'I am always responsible for whatsoever I am. Bliss or misery, this is my choice. If I have chosen to be miserable, then there is no need to be sad about it; this is my choice and I am doing my thing'. Feel happy that you have succeeded in being miserable! If this is not your choice, drop it immediately, drop all those patterns that create it and start creating new patterns, new doors from where bliss starts flowing.

So you have to watch: that which creates misery, drop it; and that which brings bliss like a flood, create it it in you. So let your life become a celebration; and it is up to you.
