Life Is Like A Tree And Its

What You Seek, You Already Are.

However Good Or Bad You Feel About Your Relationship, The Person You Are With At This Moment Is The "right" Person, Because He Or She Is The Mirror Of Who You Are Inside.

To Limit Yourself To A Label Of "alcoholic" Is Masochistic And False If You Have Awakened A Deeper Spiritual Identity Within And Have Come To Know Your True Self As Unconditioned Pure Awareness. This Doesn't Mean That Recovering Alcoholics Don't Have To Be Concerned With Relapsing, They Must Always Remain Vigilant. The Power Of Addiction Should Not Be Underestimated. This Exercise In Vigilance Can Become A Spiritual Tool Of Liberation As Well. Always Being Aware Of Choosing Between Real Happiness And False Happiness Is Also The Discrimination Required To Attain Enlightenment.

As A Physician Who Was Smoking A Pack Of Cigarettes A Day, Getting Drunk On Weekends, Stressed Out About Having 35 Patients In The Hospital, And Not Being Able To Help Either Them Or Myself, I Had My Existential Crisis Way Before I Met Maharishi.

The World Sometimes Feels Like An Insane Asylum. You Can Decide Whether You Want To Be An Inmate Or Pick Up Your Visitor's Badge. You Can Be In The World But Not Engage In The Melodrama Of It; You Can Become A Spiritual Being Having A Human Experience Thoroughly And Fully.
