What Is Your Value?
Is there any value you can be concerned with in being anything that you are - in being an accountant or a motor mechanic? You’ve got to ask this question.
Where accountants exist there is a sense of value. But it’s not the value I am concerned with - I in the body hearing these words. All the activities we indulge in are an outer concentric from the real value of life.
What’s the value of your business? It has no value unless every moment it contributes to your freedom from unhappiness. The only value I am concerned with is to be free, which is to be free of unhappiness.
All the things we engage in give a partial freedom. That’s because they exist in a concentric out from the centre of my life.
The first concentric out from the centre that I am – my awareness – is my love. My one value is what I love. What do you love?
If I love my self, I will keep thinking about myself. I’ll consider my guilt or how moody or unhappy I am today. That will be my first concentric.
Is there any need to think about my self? In truth, I do not think.
What do you love? What’s your first concentric? Is it to be free every moment, like now, of unhappiness, of self-reflection? Is it?
If you stick to that value, you’ll be able to relate to it in any situation. Indeed, you’ll have to do the best you can in the situation but you’ll stick to that value.
What is the real value of my life? If I can only relate to that value, in any situation, I will be true. I will put that value first.
