Ask yourself this one question: The way I am living, is it reducing my inner darkness? This question, only this question, determines whether you are living rightly.
It doesn’t matter how well fed you are, how well clothed you are, how well monied you are, how reputed, how respectable you are. Those things have nearly zero importance. What matters is whether moment by moment, day by day, decision by decision, you are leaving your darkness behind.
It’s just so easy to squander away life. You will not even know where all your decades have gone; they just fly by. Unless you are very cautious by way of being conscious, it is almost certain that you will waste your life. In fact, that is the default script: you are born to waste the opportunity called life. Almost cast in stone.
