Happiness comes from realizing you are not "The One"
There is no beginning or end to our being "here". This makes our now of infinite significance. We are connected to an infinite past and an infinite future. Everything we do is infinitely ramified and interconnected with everything else. And everything else becomes infinitely connected and ramified with us. This realization is crucial to our positive development.
We tend to think that there is some ultimate state that we hope to achieve to get away from all this suffering, that there will be some place outside the world, some sort of vast infinity that will not have any differentiations. But we´ll be there and then nothing can harm us, and we´ll be secure and safe, and we can ignore every kind of minute thing because we will become vast and infinite. In our escapism, in our fear, we reify states such as that as being states of liberation and enlightenment.
But when we really realize the ultimate as the void, we gain the absolute freedom of the realization of the void. That freedom is also free from itself as a separated state. That freedom is free to be invested in the most minute infinities, the infinity in a grain of sand, the infinity in a petal of a flower, the infinity in the tip of a hair, the infinity of the tone and the timbre of the tiniest gentleness that can be extended to another, that can alleviate his tension, her suffering the tiniest bit, that can open another´s happiness the tiniest bit. Compassion infinity, not just wisdom infinity, invests in every being´s happiness.
Actually, everyone is the one

When a tiny drop falls in the Ocean it unites with the ONE but occupies a specific space and place. How to explore where it belongs or is placed within the ONE ?
