Chronicles of a seeker diving into the unknown

Bhagwat Gita says

"Know the self by serving a master with an attitude of surrender, by questioning him (About the true knowledge) with a desire to know. These wise men, those who see the truth of self, will teach you this knowledge" (IV:34)

A seeker is full of questions and a master is full of answers. My impromptu dialogs with the spiritual Master Nirguna Swami Akshara resulted in these chronicles which i present here for your personal contemplations and awakening..

Why Unhappiness?

me: Swamiji over a period of time, life for most of us becomes very busy with professional and personal aspects. And even in that personal time, we have to balance the remainin little time with relatives. I think all of that makes us identify with millions of people who go through these daily chores.
Master Akshara: Not enough. One should be able to be part of the 6.5 billion people on earth..I mean identification with entire humanity than just few millions.

me: hmmm...I think sometimes we think in broader terms(means identification with others, even strangers) but most of the times it is selfish... Is that the source of general unhappiness among people.
Master Akshara: It's always going to leave one unhappy. To be selfish can tickle one's sense of happiness for awhile but never sustain it.
