Experience life every moment!

Nithyananda, Experience Life
Two friends met in the street. One man looked sad. The other man asked, 'What happened? It looks like your whole world has come to an end!"

The first man replied, 'Three weeks ago, an uncle died and left me a million dollars." The friend was surprised and said, 'Sorry to hear about your uncle. But he left you a good sum of money." The man continued, 'Two weeks ago, a cousin I never knew died and left me ,000."

The friend replied, 'Then what is your problem!" The man replied, 'This week, I didn"t get anything!"
In this whole world there are only two kinds of people. One category of people experiences life once in a while and the other category of people experiences life continuously.

Whenever you think you are feeling joy, you are experiencing life in the world for those few moments. That is why you feel so alive. You feel as if everything is beautiful. You have a positive experience with the universe.

All your joy is positive experience with the universe, even if it is just eating a sweet. For those few moments you feel that life is great. You feel that life is really something you need, and you feel connected. You are in tune with that 'ever living presence".

Understand that 'ever living presence" is what we call as life, which is responsible for all activity. Either you experience that ever living presence at this moment or you hope you will experience it in the near future. That is why you are moving your body and still keeping yourself alive.

Understand, you get out of your bed early morning, either to have some good experience or you hope that at least in the near future you will have some good experience. The desire to experience that 'ever living presence" is what drives you to get up from your bed every morning.

Your whole life is a long chain of events performed towards the one goal, that is fulfillment. Whatever you may do, whether it is eating or drinking or having relationships, wealth or joy, it is all to experience fulfillment.

Every desire which drives you is nothing but the desire to experience that 'ever living presence". Whenever your mind stops wandering and comes back, it tastes that 'ever living presence". Any sweet, any joy, any ecstasy, any experience is important because it brings you back to that 'ever living presence". If you decide, you can experience that ever living presence this very moment and always.
