Everybody suffers. Everybody feels unpleasant sensations. The history of mankind is one of suffering. And you have the task of explaining to a person that there is a reason for suffering, and the reason is simple: it’s because we don’t listen to the point in the heart.
If humanity had listened to the point in the heart, it would have brought us to the right place, and engaged our inner development. By listening to it, we would reach a state where spiritual evolution is the most important thing in life. It doesn’t matter what you do for a living; it doesn’t matter what your surroundings are. What’s important in life will change for you. You just wouldn’t want the pleasures of honor, money, or even science, as you do now. Maybe not even the spirituality that you find in theater or other cultural experiences. People would only want what their heart truly demands. They would find satisfaction only in the things that are beyond our lives.
