So true. Our egos resist us trying to make our problems seem small. (by comparing ourselves to the guy in the video.) But it's true nonetheless, our problems are usually manageable and relatively small.

Very inspiring! I also live with disability and am learning to go beyond my limits. Thank you for sharing.

For higher levels of knowledge, it is necessary to stop comparing. But for those who seek happiness, the first step is to stop comparing with people better than you, then stop comparing with anybody else but yourself, then stop comparing with yourself too.

True, but everyone is at a different level of development. I've learned that you can't speed everyone through the stages, and even the ones you do there will be a cost to pay for doing that. It's better to pace yourself. 


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

@Andrey Why should/shouldn't I complain, based in this video? Plus, anytime I'm about to complain? What if I don't have a phone or computer nearby, so I can immediately view this video a millisecond before I'm about to complain?
