 A Teaching on Happiness and the Divine Path

     Beloved Zarathustra, June 28, 2009

I AM Zarathustra!

I came this afternoon to give a small Teaching. Our conversation will not tire you out. I will be brief.

I AM Zarathustra!

I have come today to give a small Teaching. Our conversation will not tire you too much. I will be brief.

Today you will be given to understand to what extent everything that surrounds you can be changed and needs to be changed.

Imagine that you find yourself on a desert island. You have none of your habitual things; however, you remember, you bring to light from the bottom of your memory, the knowledge that you need in order to survive on this desert island.

Your civilisation has a great variety of things, and entertainment, and such toys for grown-ups, but in reality in order for you to exist you do not need so much. There is a basic minimum of things and it is enough. And if you think about it, after some brief contemplation you will understand that everything around you and everything you have does not make you happier.

So what is happiness?

For each of you the answer to this question will be different. And when you need to acquire something in order to be happy - a car, a flat, a country-house, an opportunity to travel or to get access to entertainment - then I have to tell you that you will never achieve happiness. This is because you will have to buy one thing after another, one toy after another, and you will strive to get more and more intricate pleasures of life. But every time you get the next thing or entertainment, you will immediately lose interest in it and will seek the next one to hunt for. And thus in this pursuit of the illusion many more than one or two incarnations pass away.

You are trying to find happiness outside of yourself. Yet happiness is the state of your consciousness. And when you are happy in truth, you need nothing, you are satisfied and ready to share your joy with the whole world.

How many of you have this state of inner happiness within your hearts? Doesn’t it seem strange to you that the cheapest thing, even a free one is unavailable for the majority of the tellurians?

Why does it happen? It is because your civilisation sensitises people right from childhood to the acquisition and consumption of the blessings of civilisation. And there is no limit to more and more new things and pleasures your carnal mind wants to obtain.

Stop and think. Something is wrong in all this. There is a way out of this wheel in which you are running round from one embodiment to another like a hamster in an exercise wheel. And this way out is in your consciousness.

Stop and think. Your world obediently conforms to your consciousness. You get from the external world exactly that to which you aspire. Therefore, if you manage to change your consciousness, to alter the vector of your aspirations, then the matter, although slowly, will start changing and conforming the new level of your consciousness.

Start with the simplest thing, analyse: what is there from among your possessions that makes you happy? What can you toss away from everything you have?

Very many of you, after having thought, will say that you have nothing extra and that everything you have is necessary for your life. Remember the example of a desert island which I gave you at the beginning of our conversation.

You should aspire to a more simple way of living. And when your consciousness starts changing you will realise that you have a lot of free time which you did not have before. And you will develop a taste for healthier food, for more harmonious music. You will stop spurring yourselves with different stimulants in your rat race. You will understand that sexual activity is not love. You will make a lot of discoveries in your life. But first it is necessary to make a decision and to try to direct your consciousness towards the Divine Path.

You will say that you need to know the attributes of this Path and you need some signs of direction to where this Path is lying.

The sober fact is that all the direction signs are within you. And if you heed your inner voice carefully, you will soon know where the Divine Path lies.

Even those of you who do not have much faith in our messages and who are wary of various teachings and beliefs, even you have at least once in your life heard a hint from within yourself as to how you should act in a difficult situation that cropped up before you. You always know full well what to do and how to act. But then your carnal mind intervenes and whispers loudly: “Are you insane? It will be disadvantageous for you. What conscience? What dignity? You will lose your position (or something else from the mythical values of your world)”.

And you keep listening to the human logic and miss a chance to act according to the Divine Law.

At fist sight, following the Divine Path does not provide any benefits in your world - neither money, nor fame. Quite the opposite, you forfeit much that is considered to be of high prestige in your world.

But you acquire other values. You acquire happiness, peace of mind and you become capable of experiencing the true feeling of Love.

You will not come across the direction signs of the Divine Path anywhere. But the compass and the map of the Divine Path are always present in your hearts from the very birth and until the transition. There is nobody outside of you who is to blame for your neglecting your inner knowledge and following the path that “everybody follows”.

Do not strive to walk a broad road that leads nowhere. Walk along the narrow, hardly distinguishable path that leads you to the eternal life.*

 I have said enough for those who are able to understand.

 I wish you to jump out of your wheel and to find happiness!

I AM Zarathustra.

* 13. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
