JANU: Some perceive that grandiose schemes lead to success. In the reality of awakening, grandiose is not the theme here. For the human desire for credit, aggrandizement, prestige, recognition with the plan that everyone is sure to observe and recognize and be in awe of, is a different kind of success. The simplicity of truth and the power of its eternal nature is awakening, our brother.
This addresses motivation for awakening and so-called reward or benefit. This is not a grandiose scheme or plan, but an enrichment of life into true freedom to be. Incarnate life in this way of understanding is true fulfillment. Drawing attraction from others is a distraction. Serving others, that they find freedom, leads to success, our brother. Profound understanding comes from simplicity. Awakening leads to perception which reveals truth.
So, what motive, then, is truly successful in the process of awakening? Awakening your consciousness to who you are and the nature of all life, is certainly a good beginning. Your relationship with materiality is far more important and useful than being in possession of it, for possession comes and goes. But a wisdom matures consciousness and it continues. The journey into materiality, into incarnation, need not remain in ignorance, but become a journey into understanding, contribution, realization of potential and service that grows, matures, expands, and a growing sense of being alive and part of a larger life.
There are always solutions and answers to questions and concerns. They are there encouraging you to discover. Awakening, our brother, is part of the solution on the journey of discovery. Continue to allow understanding to be yours. Namaste.
