Fulfillment

 

Anyone who is persuaded, consciously or unconsciously, to think along a particular line, however apparently beneficial, can never really fulfill himself at all.

The magic about fulfillment and happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.

We are being influenced by something or other, most of the time and one may be unconscious of it, but it is always present in many subtle forms.

 Its influence or compulsions are found in churches, parliament or ashrams where the ideal, the spiritual or political Utopia becomes the future as a symbol of achieving or becoming something.

There can never be fulfillment at the expense from the happiness of others.

The big question here is, if one is merely concerned with freedom from outward authority or does one also want to be free from every form of inward compulsion, from the pressures of the mind itself.

The influence by the culture or society in which one has been brought up is most obvious that the mind is influenced, educated, shaped, not only by the present culture, but by centuries of culture.

True freedom and learning comes without a cause. To feel out the nature of consciousness, which is the direct experiencing of it without any motive, is already a freeing of the mind from outer influence.

If it develops as a motive of any kind, there can be no freedom.

Humility in love is the humility of the master, while humility in surrender is the humility of the slave.

A great person will stretch your mind to capture the ultimate love, whereas those who want to control you will narrow it to the size of their needs.

The manipulator and foolish will try to sell you fulfillment into the distance, while the great soul grows it under its feet.

Every living organism becomes fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature to become.

The fulfillment is having faith to the divine promise.
