What does this existence mean to you?

 

 

It cannot be explained, it can only be felt.

 

If you just understand that, then a whole different door opens up.

 

Then you begin to understand.  Not through explanations, but by feeling the preciousness of this life:

 

 

... the joy. 

 

 

The truest responsibility – to be in gratitude to that most magnificent power that has made it possible for you to be alive.

 

Not one minute.  Not five minutes.  Not ten minutes.  But to actually feel in this life the eternal gratitude.

 

That is what it means to be alive.

 

Not doubt.  Not confusion.  That’s not being alive.  Not pain.  Not suffering, not misery, not darkness.

 

Being alive means to be crystal clear.

- Prem Rawat
