Sunset and a Dollar bill

Picking up dollar bills on your way home

Imagine you are walking towards your home after tiring day of working.

A wet Monday hard work at office and you curse the society that you're living which made you

this kind of a person, yet on your way home you see a hundred-dollar bill for that matter even one dollar bill just lying on the pavement, ah ha someone has dropped a valuable dollar. Depending on your budget in this case of course with a limited low-income budget, imagine yourself what would you do.

A sunset

There will be a temptation to pick it up once you know the value of the dollar bill, it may be different reasons sometimes you will use it to buy something for yourself sometimes you will use it to give it to a beggar, or even to a charity, sometimes you will invest it for your future to make it grow into a thousand dollars by next year, but the moment you pick it up I would say almost all the people who have a consciousness about the actions would know that is not the right thing to do. The dollar bill or the hundred-dollar bill is dropped by someone who owned it, and who knew the value of it as it is. Of course, the owner will never come to pick it up, he might even not notice that he has dropped this ever.

But the problem is, what is the alternative to pick it up? It is just to ignore it and walk away.

Just to ignore it and walk away like you have not seen the value of it. Because every action that we do, everyone knows it is right or wrong, the God doesn't have to be there to judge you.

Some people would say they don't feel at all, whether it's right or wrong but again I would say

they are just lying, from the morning till night, we are monitoring ourselves. Our own consciousness monitors what we do all the time, and with each choice we know it is right or wrong good or bad.

Now with this new wisdom you can look at life and understand the process of mindfulness. Imagine you are there to walk at the beach in the afternoon, you see the beautiful sunset making golden clouds and the reflecting sea, it's music to your ears, refreshing for your eyes and cozy and fresh to your skin.

Just like a dollar bill what do you do? would you pick it up and try to enjoy it? or would you just leave it alone? It is a choice that you have to make. It is very subtle how we get attached even to a valueless thing like a sunset, like a dollar bill, which can buy you just valueless sunsets.

A dollar bill

How to free the consciousness.

Are you brave enough not to get attached to this feeling or this moment? I think if you do get attached, then your consciousness will feel guilty and if you do not, then your consciousness will be free. I'm not telling you to try to get detached from things. It is impossible to do. But if you understand the guilty is not what you see, but in what you do, after you see.

Just do not serve a cup of tea, to the people who are just passing by. Which I'm doing, by writing this all down for you. I'm creating some values which is the world's way of doing things.

If you destroy the values, and understand the valuelessness of the things, then that would be the way of a seeker who is searching for the meaning of life or simply truth.
