I once bought four yogurts - they seemed really delicious, I could been eat them all at once. But don't know why, I decided I'll not eat them, I decided to save them instead. On some point they expired, so I couldn't do anything else, but throw them away.

We are, what we think we are, that's what the Buddha said - and no matter how you understand this statement, it's true - and you can take it literally. Now, here's the first problem: instead of trusting ourselves, and believing in ourselves - we believe what other tell us. You'll maybe say now, that a person is defined by his/her environment, therefore - there's no choice. That's not true of course; even though we're define by our environment - there's a choice, actually, a path on which we can step; the path of self-exploration, - self-realization. So, the exploration of our inner world. The realization who we are, and what's our purpose. And this realization shouldn't be just something shallow - but should be deep - philosophical and spiritual experience.

In dark times of my life, I was grateful for light days and short periods of happiness; when things were much better, I slowly forgot to be grateful. Instead of that, I became greedy.

The realization of reality would lead into liberation. People have no idea how far from reality they are. We have no idea, what a big illusion is this, what we perceive as "reality".
    I won't say I'm some kind of exception, some kind of superman, who is liberated, free, illuminated, enlightened in state of nirvana, - no, I'm not. I'm not even close.

Rumi influenced and inspired me a lot. It was truly healing for my soul in dark times, and I guess I don't have to explain why. Just read something he wrote,...

I'm posting one of his poems...
