Читать книгу Triumph Of Love Over Ego - Saeed Habibzadeh - Страница 13

Our soul loves life and eternal transformation, since life is constant transformation and eternal becoming. Our soul always provides impulses, suggestions and ideas so that we know what we need to change to improve the flow of life and, as a direct consequence, our own happiness. While our soul is rooted in eternal life, our mind is firmly focused on impermanence and does not recognize anything else. This is why our soul’s longing for true inner transformation is often misunderstood as a longing for a change in circumstance. And so we think we would be happier if we found another boyfriend or girlfriend, or if we had another job or a lot more money. In other words, when our soul identifies a transformation and sends us a signal, our mind perceives this as a change in circumstance. This is because our mind looks towards the outside and only knows and acknowledges matter, being of matter itself.

All change in circumstance originates from a longing for our true, authentic life. We only long for what we do not have. This means that we are longing for an authentic, meaningful life because we have ground to a halt inside and our life is nothing but a repetition of boring routines and habits.

True transformation takes place in our consciousness and materializes in our surroundings. The consequence of such a transformation could be moving house, separating from a partner who was not right for us, the start of a happy relationship, changing from job to vocation or similar.

While true transformation is an essential part of life, change of circumstance is merely an adjustment.

True transformation takes place in our consciousness. It removes the old and outdated and puts something new in its place. An adjustment does not bring anything new; it simply relocates the existing parts or mixes them up like cards in a card game. This is how our ego deceives us: it simulates changes that in fact have not occurred. It does not matter how often we redecorate our flat, it is still the same flat. The renovation may improve ambiance and comfort, but it cannot compare with moving from an unsuitable flat to one that feels right.

Another important point to make is that we would often rather replace the need for inner transformation with some outer change. If, for example, we separate from our partner without having learnt the relevant lessons, we will repeat our mistakes in our next relationship and will end up with the same problems. We will have changed the actors on the stage of our life, but the screenplay remains the same!

Making changes on the outside without changing the inner, spiritual essence, results in even more pain and misery, since it has no substance. True transformation takes place in our heart and consciousness and it automatically leads to the materialization of more happiness on the inside and on the outside.
