When we engage in any work, we should do it with full focus to achieve true happiness. Happiness does not come from money and wealth alone. Without focus on our work, we will not find fulfillment, even if we have money or material desires.
The Burden of Expectations
In fulfilling our physical desires, we often enter into marriage and have children. Sometimes, we may perceive our child as a burden and wonder why they behave in certain ways. Parents face challenges when deciding whether a child is overly active or not active enough. If the child is neutral and starts working, we often pressure them about salaries and commitments. These pressures indicate a restless mind and a lack of peace.
The Spiritual Path
Much of the work we do in life may seem unnecessary. However, engaging in these tasks helps us realize their futility and nudges us toward a spiritual path. This understanding comes from deep introspection and eventually leads us to the spiritual way. When we delve deeply into our experiences, we gain the insight necessary to walk the spiritual path.
Love in the Family
It can be challenging to show love within our family because they know all our flaws and virtues. Despite this, love should start with our family. Wisdom lies in showing love to all without any form of judgment. Observing life without judgment is the highest form of intelligence. We must see everyone as a life or soul.
The Role of Judgment in Love
Judgment hinders our ability to show love. If we judge, our knowledge intervenes, and love cannot flourish. Bad people, in particular, need more love because they lack it in their lives, which is often why they turn to negative behaviors.
Overcoming Ego in Relationships
The ego prevents us from showing love to our partner and family. We may struggle to love our partner because we are aware of their true character. This lack of love leads to a lack of respect and intimacy. True intimacy is not merely physical; it means understanding and appreciating our partner’s character and attitude.
