Always?

Always?


How can you always be happy? Forget about "always"; then you'll be happy.

In always wanting to be comfortable, one becomes lazy. In always wanting perfection, once becomes angry. In always wanting to be rich, one becomes greedy.

Fear comes when we don't realize that only life is for always. This projection of the nature of Self (which is "always") onto the temporal (which can never be "always") is called maya (delusion).

If you remove "always" from your vocabulary, then everything is "all right." Drop "always," and all will right--that's intelligence.
