Addiction

2. How to quit a bad addiction? 
Yes, if you have a bad addiction and really want to leave it, then resolve not to do it and leave it. Still, if there is no addiction or habit left, then there is a remedy for it. With this remedy, any bad addiction in the world can be easily discarded.
Remedy - Whenever a bad habit or addiction arises in your mind, be alert before it. For example, if you wake up from a dream in your sleep, then for that moment, dreams remain for some time. But due to your awakening, those dreams start dissolving very fast. Just with this awareness, watch that habit dominate over you. Just look at that habit, don't catch it. In this way you will catch awareness in a few days, you will know what is alertness. Now whenever you have a bad habit in your mind, become aware for a few moments and watch it dissolve with awareness, like a dream. Any of your bad habits will easily disappear.
Second remedy - whenever a bad addiction catch you or you use it, then see yourself. Like - you see someone unfamiliar. As you are a character of a play. Stay with it and be aware of yourself smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol. Do not think it is right, it is wrong. I should do it, not do it. Just look at yourself. Like - if a play is going on or see yourself as a dream, then you will be different than your dream, drama will be different. Your addiction and you will fall apart. You can continue with this as long as you want, and leave it whenever you want. Because you can come out of the play anytime.
Therefore, no need to quit any addiction. Enjoy your addiction with awareness or witnessing and quit whenever you want.

23. Can I consider my pet cat to be my spiritual master? No, because a domesticated cat is not as alert or attentive as a wild cat. The wild cat does not walk on built paths. All his actions arise with alertness. But a pet cat, having all the comforts, can become relaxed, lose its alertness. It can be your slave.  How dangerous is the word 'pet'. Can you pet a guru? And the guru who agrees to be domesticated loses being a master. If the cat has to be made a master, then make a wild cat, which is not pet. You can learn to be aware, alert or attentive to it. Pay attention to that how conscious it is to walk, get up, eat. She also appears awake in sleep. You can enter spirituality through this awareness. Learn to be alert like a wild cat. The cat would be spiritual or not you will become spiritual.

The Race

What is in the race of life, which is often missed? Life itself is left in the race of life. Life is not a race. When all your races stop, you realize life.  We have seen everyone running in our lives, and we have also learned to run. We are just running. We do not even know why we are running. Where do we want to go? Do you know what life is? What is my being? Who am I? Where am I from? Where have I to go or I am just running without any reason. You will not get anywhere from this race, and you will regret when there is no running power.  The purpose of life is life itself. But we    know the race and forge life. Know the life and forget the race. Life will live by itself. Leave yourself to life. flow through the stream of life. One day you will find the sea. Now don't ask what is life? Have to know life, have to live.

Full of Love and Joy

Who is right to live, for myself or for others? Living is right for yourself. To live for others is to deceive oneself. Giving love to others is the way to get love.  If you make someone happy, that happiness will one day become poison. Because you are not happy in your life. You are not full of love. Unless you have access to love or bliss, you cannot share it. Unless a plant is full of flowers, a tree is not laden with fruits, they cannot share their flowers and fruits. When you are full of joy and love, you do not have to ask to share it. It is a bliss to share it.  When Gautama Buddha was not enlightened, he kept silent as if he were nowhere. But as soon as he became available to e enlightenment and bliss, he started searching for his friends to share it. When he reached home, wife Yashodhara jokingly told his son Rahul, "Look, this is your father who is a monk. Go and ask for the property that you want from him." Then the Buddha initiated Rahul. He said, &quo
