Lesson - D0219: Benefits of Knowing the Creation
By Raja Subramaniyan

There is nothing but ONE. The world is a form that is superimposed on the only real substance, ONE. We perceive the form as a substance and create our own world, which is the only reason for all our sufferings in life.

Once we understand this, we will not desire for name, fame, power, position, property, awards, rewards, relationships, social status. Such desire will exist so far we are ignorant of the true nature of the world. If we know that the world is just a form, which is not stable, we will not have any desires.

We will continue to function in the world earning wealth, name, fame etc but not with the view to derive any security / peace / happiness from them. They are for entertainment and for providing comforts in the illusory world. All our actions will be devoid of any desires.

The greatest advantage of such desire less action is avoidance of all the negative emotions
* No disappointment because we do not have any expectations.
* No anxiety because we are not concerned about the future.
* No worry because we do not wish any specific results.
* No anger because nothing can obstruct our goal (There is no goal).
* No jealousy because we know others do not gain any happiness from their possessions.
* No attachment with anyone/ any object because we know that they are not permanent and more importantly that they are not the source of happiness.
* No greediness because there is nothing to gain from material possessions.
* No miserliness. Willing to share and help others since we know that essentially, everyone is the very same ONE.
* No competition at all because everyone is carrying the winner's trophy with them from the commencement of the race.
* No ill feeling against anyone because everyone is climbing towards the same ultimate goal of finding out that they are carrying the winner's trophy.
* Total acceptance of everyone as they are. Because the differences among the people are natural. (Both 8 year old and 13 year old are considered normal although their behavior is not same.)
* Loving kindness to everyone around since all are colleagues in the same game.

Thus, one will start living joyfully once this knowledge is gained.
