If you want love, look here

Sometimes when you ask the simplest questions you will get the most profound answers. Below is an example. Notice that the question is just as important as the answer. Unlike a path that involves faith, on the path of Self-Knowledge questions are always welcome.

Dear Michael
 
Hi, again me:)

Generally my meditation is very boring because I don't feel very well. I don't know why that is.
 
Nowadays I'm bored with everything. I want to be happy but I’m not. My life is beautiful. But I’m waiting for my love. I want to get married to a true man. Why doesn’t he come? Please help me. Thank you for your prayers.

Sincerely

Tülay
p.s. be happy all the time:))

Hi Tulay,

Thank you for your comments. Life becomes boring when you hope to find happiness in the things that you see. Just remember, if it's a man, a house, or a car, they cannot give you what you already have.

Happiness comes from what you are, not from what you see. It comes from the place where you actually experience it.

At the most an object can remind you of what you have already. But I think you will find that if you rely on the man for your happiness you will be disappointed. That's because a man cannot give you that which lies within.

So in your meditation, try to find the place where you actually experience happiness. Then your meditations will become very alive and interesting. You will feel that you are discovering something new and profound everyday.

And in the end, you will discover the kingdom of heaven within you. That is a deep peace that does not depend on what you have or don't have. Also, it does not depend on the condition of your mind and body.

Finally with this understanding, when you do get into the relationship of your dreams, you will be in a position to make it a very rewarding relationship. That's because you will be the happiness that everyone is looking for.

I hope that this helps.

Best Wishes,

Michael Gluckman

Question everything
Here I always encourage questions. People take too much for granted about the world, their body, mind, and their nature. Questioning encourages you to take a fresh look. Looking afresh, once again life becomes fresh and a real adventure. Without changing a thing, everyday experiences become completely new. If you need help with your questions you can write me at
