The more we love ourself without arrogance, and the more we love others without attachment, the happier we are and the happier others are. So, what’s holding us back? Kleshas (negative harmful emotions) hold us back. We get stuck in the ego and become fragile. Little things make us angry. Little things make us jealous. Little things make us attached. Little things make us upset. Remember the BIG PICTURE. Please do not get stuck in the minutia. Don’t get stuck in the mud. Bath in it like the elephants. Enjoy it like the elephants. Play in it like the elephants.
