Awareness at surface level is no awareness. It is the same as walking in your sleep. I think that is what we all are doing. We have very little awareness of what’s happening in our lives. The question is, with little to no awareness among us, how can we develop courage? We need to ask ourselves one more thing: with no awareness, are we actually living?
Most of us are not living; we are dead. We are simply living in misery. We are clinging to our miseries. All we have known is the taste of misery. We have hardly experienced the taste of life. Well, how can you experience the taste of life? You need understanding not just at the surface level but in every fiber of your body. When you finally wake up, you will realize that life demands risk. It’s unpredictable. It’s risky. It demands freedom from past memories. Life demands spontaneity. Life is like the flow of a river that demands only that you learn and go forward!
When you develop understanding at a deeper level, then you will become free of your past memories. You will find courage within yourself and start living your life according to your own terms. You will sing your song and will not regret at the time of death because you will be filled with gratitude toward your life and existence. Once you become aware of your actions, you will have the courage. You will then share your love, your experience, and your courage with others and do your best to lift others as well!
Don’t worry about your past! Clinging to the past is like clinging to a dead body! The sooner you understand this, the better it will be for you!
