If you want to become someone in this world, you must prove that you are not an ordinary person, but rather an extraordinary one. But to what end? What purpose does this serve? It serves only one purpose: you gain power, and others become subordinate...
The moment you accept yourself as you are, without any comparison, all superiority and all inferiority disappear.
People judge you, and you accept their opinions without any critical thinking. You suffer from all sorts of judgments, and you project these judgments onto other people. This game has gone too far, and all of humanity is suffering from it.
Society creates fear in everyone – fear of rejection, fear of ridicule, fear of losing one's respectability, fear of what others will say. You have to adapt to the various forms of blindness and unconsciousness of people; you cannot be yourself.
Every individual is unique because there is no one who is exactly like anyone else. It would be possible to compare if all people were the same – but they are not. Even twins are not exactly alike. It is impossible to find another person who is exactly like you. So, by comparing unique people, we create all sorts of difficulties.
Beyond the fence, great things are happening: the grass looks greener, and the roses are more vibrant. It seems that everyone is happy except you. You continue to compare. Others do the same; they also compare. Everyone envies someone else…
Because of envy, you constantly suffer and treat others poorly. And because of jealousy, you begin to become fake, because you start to pretend. You begin to claim things that you don't have, you begin to claim things that you cannot have, which is unnatural for you. You become more and more artificial. You imitate others, compete with others, and what else is left for you to do?
A jealous person lives in hell; drop comparison, and then jealousy, the feeling of worthlessness, and the falseness will also disappear. But you can only drop this if you begin to cultivate your inner treasures, and there is no other way.
A person is fulfilled when they are in harmony with the universe. If they are not in harmony with the universe, then they are empty, completely empty. And from this emptiness comes greed.
There are only two ways to feel fullness within yourself. Either you enter into harmony with the universe... and then you are filled with the whole, with all the flowers, all the stars. And this is a real fulfillment. But you cannot do this – millions of people do not do this – and then there remains another way: to fill yourself with any kind of junk. Greed simply means that you are experiencing a deep emptiness and want to fill it with everything possible – it doesn't matter with what.
