Ashtavakra: You are the river: An interview with Ken Wilber

The pros and cons of the alternate scenario are never known to us even though as humans we are wired to believe the brighter side of a hypothethical situation and exaggerate the poorer side of existing situation.

Ultimately how you weave the tapestry of life under a given situation is all that matters.What you make out of given circumstances and live according to that reality is destiny.In that understanding is the richness of life.In that understanding lies contentment.

Live your life of dream in a continuum and not in, only if scenario because only if is probable and hence unreal.

What is, is reality and certainty.Meaning of life is in its present reality and not in alternate probability.

A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."Albert Einstein
