If not now, when?

Peace, harmony, and the end of unhappiness is only possible through self-knowledge because the knowledge of the Self reveals the inalienable fullness of one’s existence. Even if it is only a possibility, it is certainly a beautiful sight to behold and a fascinating cognition to comprehend.

As mankind, we’ve been everywhere, we’ve developed amazing technologies, we’ve explored new horizons and we’ve increased the physical standard of living.

However, there has been hardly any improvement towards knowing more about the Self, towards creating a more peaceful environment that is shared equally, towards being open and receptive to the natural diversity of human birth, and towards manifesting the intrinsic happiness that can be observed in any child’s eyes.

Nevertheless, if we were to have the courage and the lucidity to start manifesting those indelible, essential and natural traits in our lives, sympathy, goodwill and tolerance would inevitably be a more frequent visitor to our places.

Meanwhile, even if the above understanding and behaviors seem a little hard to be manifested here and now, despite striving to manifest them, it would be very inspiring if we could live our lives with more acceptance, joy, and gratitude.
