Contentment is a distinct place. It's not complicated, it is simple. When I am not overpowered with the reality of everything, only overpowered with my own reality. When I have the time and patience to listen to my heart. When I have the courage to say, "Okay, I'm listening. Tell me. Tell me of your wisdom. Share with me what you know. Sing to me a song that will soothe me. That I have heard you sing before. I can't repeat the tune, but I like it. I can't repeat your words, but they comfort me."
The heart speaks in no language. And the heart sings in its own rhythm.-no scales and no melodies of this world. Do I have the patience, do I have the time, to listen to the wisdom? Wisdom. What do we think wisdom is? In silence when the heart can speak - that's wisdom. That's true wisdom. Uncompromised. You will never hear anything like that. Uncompromised. A delivery that is so perfect and so personal that it doesn't matter how many millions of people may be sitting in that area, they will not hear it. Only the one listening.

Do not underestimate the power of Knowledge. It is mighty. Practice it. Enjoy it.
Feel this heart. Feel this life.
Feel the blessing you have been given.
To be alive. There is no greater blessing than that. You are. Open this heart and accept. And when you are full, give thanks. That's all that's required. No, you don't have to climb a mountain, you don't have to jump off a bridge. And to those people who like to go to all the holy places-what have the saints said? The holiest place is inside of you. It's all there. Appreciate.
This is a beautiful opportunity to experience something wonderful.

There is no guideline, but there is a feeling. And have you honed that skill in your life? It's a skill. It has to be honed. It has to be utilized again and again and again. Musicians have to practice. If they stop playing, they can't get back to it. It takes a little while. Don't you realize that enjoyment and existence, and the enjoyment of existence, is also a skill?
Either use it, or guess what? Lose it.

It is not in the resolution of problems that you will find happiness. If you want to find that happiness, if you want to find that joy, then find that one thing that is within inside of you. That is you, that is your reality, that is your core that can bring you that joy. This disparity has existed and existed and existed, yet people keep saying, "No, these people don't know what they're talking about."

YOU HAVE COME INTO THE REALM OF LIFE. Pray, tell, where is your focus? Here is the most magnificent thing that's unfolding. A breath comes and fills you with life, my God - life. You know? Hey, people, you can't dig this stuff up in a mountain. It's not like there is a mine of life somewhere and you can go and trace it down and say, "Yeah, don't worry about life, we've got plenty of it." Life. It's not a joke. It's real.
People say, "Oh, yes, you know, all this stuff - enjoying all this and that, and that, and Knowledge, you know, is that real?" Well, let's put all that aside for a minute, we'll discuss that later. Let's talk about life. Is life real?
It's about as real as reality gets. You're here. You exist. You can touch, you can feel, you can listen. You have the capability. You have the ability to enjoy
This is brought to you, courtesy of existence.
