If You Want to Win

Everybody gets caught up in "This is wrong, and this is wrong, and this is wrong."

And of course, things are always going to be wrong. Always.

You cannot destroy wrongness. That would be wrong.

It's always there.

And that's not the point. The point is, so is that which is good. And if you can in your life embrace that which is good, then that's all you need to do.

You don't need to go chase the wrongness to say "Get out of here." You don't need to do that.

A lot of people think, "Oh yeah, I have to remove all the darkness in my life, all the things that are wrong in my life." You can't do it. It's not possible. It's not physically possible. You can't push it out.

You look at people, and what do they get affected... What do you get affected by? What do you get affected by? Most trivial thing; somebody said something bad about you so you get affected by it. Don't you? "Oh, how can he say that!"

So have you been affected? No. But do you feel affected? Yes.

And how long does that game go on? It goes on forever. Forever.

How do you win? How do you win? How do you teach somebody to win in this world? Because the winning is losing in this world. And if you want to win, you have to turn inside. That's the only way. You can't go anywhere else. You've got to turn inside.

Everyday to live this life consciously, to be real.
