UNIVERSAL TRUTH
A person, a self, an aware being,
Smaller than a pin head in an ocean
The ocean itself
a pin head in a vast Universe
A person of Universal Insignificance
yet of high Personal Significance
Happy or not, in pain or not,
is all a matter of central sensation
Sensation is individual,
experience-conditioned,
expectation-conditioned
Nothing is absolute
The intensity of the sensory experience
can vary in and within persons
with the same stimulus and circumstances
Why waste time, money and energy
trying to intensify and vary the stimulus
in the hope of a greater sensory experience
Is it not better to change the reaction
rather than the stimulus?
And be similarly or even more content
with less futile investment of time and energy.
Is this the secret of happiness?
What is happiness?
Just a state of mind
What is mind?
Just a conscious awareness
