If you accept that a relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation, and you will be aligning yourself with the higher consciousness that wants to be born into this world.
Watch the clouds. They will teach you about the world of form.
You can be effective in this world without stress.
The whole world accepts that being stressed is the normal way to live.
In the world of form, everything changes and evolves. So, there was a certain evolution of the teaching. Different pointers came in, different stories, different approaches to the truth, which always is the same.
There is no separation between being and the manifested world, between the manifested and the unmanifested. But the unmanifested is so much vaster, deeper, and greater than what happens in the manifested.
It is the stillness that will save and transform the world.
Peace is your priority, not saving the world. That follows that.
As you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within.
Many people in this world are still so identified with every thought that arises in their head. There is not the slightest space of awareness there.

You cannot receive what you don't give. Outflow determines inflow. Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you already have, but unless you allow it to flow out, you won't even know that you have it. This includes abundance.
Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. … The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world.
When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?
