Everything just is. Just the way it is. Just the way it is.


Everything just is. Just the way it is. Just the way it is.
You do not have to do anything about anything.
You do not have to change anything
or fix anything or improve anything.
Everything just is.

If you can only understand this great truth
you would become the happiest being on earth.
For when you realize that everything just is,
you are living spontaneously. 


There is no past, there is no future,
there is no birth, there is no death.
Everything thing just is the way it is.

Look at your life.

How many things you try to change or fix or remedy.
Things that you're looking for.
Trying to become something.
Trying to be somebody.
Trying to achieve a purpose.

When you do all these things then you're not living up
to the principle of everything just is.
If everything just is, what is there for you to do?
You didn't come to this earth to do anything.
You didn't even come to this earth.
But you appear as if you did.
You appear real.
You appear as if you're somebody.

And you've been trained to go after something in this world,
to become something great, to be somebody.
Yet this is what causes suffering.
The belief that you have to be somebody that you're not.
The belief that you have to have something that you don't have.
Look at your life.

The so-called problems you believe you have.
Something only becomes a problem
when you want to change something
or you want something to go your way.
Then it's a problem because
it isn't going the way you think it should go.
But in truth nothing has to go any way.
Everything is perfect just the way it is.
Everything is total perfection.
