The Liar’s Truth


I am an advertiser, a liar by profession. My job is to lie to people. Make them believe that they are unhappy, incomplete, left out, incompetent and boring. Then offer them a product, service or idea that will help them to become happy, complete, superior, acceptable and loveable. I tell them that there is a way out of these miseries, that they can colour their dull lives and fill-up their incompleteness by goods and services offered by people who pay me.

Lying is a tough job. I have to constantly keep on inventing new reasons and theories to make them believe, they are unhappy and incomplete. 
People live in a world where they undergo self-hypnosis by the omnipresent information designed by people like me. People constantly try to find reasons for being happy and as a result find misery.

The truth is: You do not need anything to be happy or complete. No reason is required. The moment you stop your constant struggle of finding a reason to be happy, you realize; you already are that you seek to be. Misery dwells on the reason, bliss is free. The search gives birth to the misery. The search of, what I call, the “about” factor. You want to know, “what you are happy about?” That is where you fall in pit.

Lord Gautama stated, “You already are everything you want to be!”
He meant, no matter if you want to be rich, prosperous, famous or envied. All you seek is to be happy. That you already are! 
You seek happiness in these states and put yourself in illusion that you are unhappy.

Be sensible; stop searching for “about” factor to be happy and complete. Know that you are happy and complete. Break the hypnosis!

  2. No, ‘Be what you are’ is the secret. The want itself is a desire. The word ‘want’ itself suggests that something is missing. Whereas the truth is everything is already there. You are already there.

    Realize that, you already are what all there is to desire for. Then the desire ceases to exist. And, you alone are present. No search to be something.

  3. Be what you are and appreciate all around you, be it "good or bad", all has it's place and need for being.
