Prisoner I am


I am in a prison, going from one door to another, tapping to each door trying to find a way out. It looks if I only open the door in front of me, I will reach to freedom. I can clearly see the freedom behind the door.

When I finally open the door a new locked one appears out of nowhere.
Thus I am always in the same situation as before, in the middle of the prison and the freedom looks just one door away.

So what? Is there any way out of this prison?

There is no way out, it is impossible to get out of the prison because it's a mind prison, it is designed in this way.  If I stop struggling to open the doors in front of me and be surrendered to what is, the vicious cycle of creating new doors will break.
By surrendering, stop struggling I become aware that even the first locked door is a mind-made one. There is no lock, no door, and no prison. I am already out, free!

The prison is the attempt to get free. In the other words trying to get free is the prison itself. When you stop trying the prison disappears like the thin mist.

When I try to reach to happiness, to freedom, to peace actually I am creating the walls of the prison, but when I stop trying and become surrendered to what is, the walls disappear.

Happiness does not depends on conditions

Happiness does not depend on conditions but whats happening in your mind. Observing the following short clip is mind-blowing. Please watch the clip and keep your focus on the boy behaviour than anything else. In few words, the boy is not sad. You as an observer may feel sad but he is not. The thoughts have not taken over him. He is in full acceptance of the conditions. You watch the clip and your conditioned mind creates sorrow. The boy mind is not conditioned and sees the real life.  He does not ask, "why? why me? I wish I had legs I wish I was normal I wish... ". He does not compare himself to his sister. He wants to go up and he does it. His incredible performance in climbing comes from the complete surrender to the situation.  What makes you happy or sad, is not the situation or condition you are in. It's about your thoughts. In every situation the thoughts will come, positive or negative they separate you from reality and change your mood.  ...

Stress is a cause for doing more?

I was talking with a friend, Misagh, he told me I understand your talks about  the thoughts and how they take over us, makes us worry, ruin our days and play with us, but don't you think these thoughts and stresses makes us to put more effort? To do more? Don't you think stress is necessary to move? Misagh! What is your utmost purpose of all your doings? Is not it reaching to the  happiness and peace? You are looking for the illusion of the  happiness or the illusion of  peace, somewhere in future. You think if you reach to that point then you will feel good and secure, then everything will be fine and you will taste the peace of mind. Then you try more and you push yourself. You put yourself under pressure. You trade the moment of now, the very imidiate peace of now with the illusion of peace in future. You can be peaceful now, you can be happy right now but instead you don't see it. You start to gain more, add something to yourself to reach to a point which ...
