Abundance

As difficult as this human life may be, I am really grateful for all the experiences it brings!  How could I taste human love if I were formless?  How could I experience so many different forms of emotions?  How could I smell the flowers and hear the birds?  How could I taste the food?  How could I travel the world and enjoy the breathtaking view of the earth?  How could I be astonished by this spectacular world?  How could I know heartbreak?  How could I know there are so many different kinds of people?  How I could taste the abundance of life?  How could I learn?

Even more amazing is, if you realize that you are not just your forms, your body, your emotions, and your thoughts, you can experience and enjoy formless and forms at the same time!  You experience the abundance a life can provide but at the same time you experience the eternal bliss in the background!  Everything just becomes like a game, a game for you to enjoy, to experience, and to learn!  Your life is at the same time deep and broad!  And you taste the magnificence of life!  Isn't this the life consciousness having in mind and enjoying?

Yes, Heaven is here!  Here and now!  Enjoy!
