this big drama there are little drama being played out in these little dramas and the dramas of your life the most common thing to all of you what you do not recognize is one of those things that is one it's the most powerful a question needs to be  that whatever may be happening in my life at any given time in the time of joy in the time of pain and the time of pleasure in the time of suffering whatever is happening isn't bringing me closer to me because if it isn't and it's removing me from myself removing me from myself then something is drastically wrong now i know for a lot of people this is becomes a very serious subject because there's always that question who am i who are you and even though a lot of people have thought about that question there isn't a certainty of finance and nobody has got it pegged oh yeah that's what i am because everybody gets their information some people go read books some people have discussions some people follow this some people follow that and i'm not here to try to present to you another path or another way another idea another philosophy i'm really here to tell you you're alive so when i say you are alive i am saying something so precious so beautiful so simple that you really have to look at it for what it is and it is worth and what do you truly aspire for to be content this is the want this is the desire now everything that we do in this world is for that little contentment for that little gratification somehow somewhere that we may have that i am not saying that you should become a monk and go on top of some solitary mountain and sit down and then then you will have contentment did you hear me say that you are already going no no no no just you know live in this world party did i say you shouldn't party and so here's the twist living your life consciously is the most fun a human being can have this confusion is the worst nightmare because all it does is spirals you more and more and more and more and more the up to the point that you've lost your clarity your understanding and  the peace that you need is not the world peace but the peace with your  is your strength have you learnt how gardner every single day we cannot survive more than three minutes without air three hours without warmth our environment three weeks without food  ok so when you're not thirsty everything's oh yes hello hello hello how are you how are you would you like glass of water oh now i am fine now it's like that but you're not thirsty start to get thirsty your lips start to get dry and still you're going oh yes yes we have to have this and yes yes we have to do this and yes yes we have to do the more thirsty and more thirsty and more thirsty and more thirsty and more thirsty and thirst for water will clarify what is the priority the purse for the self will also clarify what is the this opportunity called life that you have which isn't that much comparatively speaking and by the way i did provide to tell you that's a little too long but matter how much i practice i can't cut the time but that is a little too long it's less than a second which one do you want to win the academy award for complaining and few there's something real somebody told me once this gentleman in india one day he came home and he came home and and his first child said hey dad i have to get the shoes otherwise i'm not going to school tomorrow the second son came you know what i my bag is finished i have to have a new bag of the ones i can go to school tomorrow upon hearing the two son say all this the mother also heard this and came out and said well you know what we need doll we need this we need this we need this with without this no food tom if i'm not happy how can i make you stupid observation very keen observation very accurate observation incredibly incredibly accurate observation whatever may happen whatever may come whatever may go the reality of it is your want for they will be there the reason for peace will be there is not human compatible anger is not human compatible how did we get where we are we started off on the right track bring it on that i happiness and of course you know our parents or here play with this and the baby a foot is fine connection with joy in your life even when you could walk you would walk for one reason you would go and see so far the joy is coming so far that happiness was there it was all good the focus yes so when i go to people to talk to them about peace not for explanation plants with those to be recognize you are looking for peace and peace is looking for and what do you need to do th the love of the you've been looking for you have when you the joy that you have been looking for you have in you the truth that you have been looking for you h the divine that you have living and the only way there is going to be any peace in this world is when we are  me consciously in your life is a simple story it's not a complicated story you and you were given this chance this opportunity to be all things in this world of all things in this world you were given the opportunity to be appreciation in life is extremely extremely important without appreciation it is like having food that has no flavor to feel with no barrier
