Technology makes people lonely
True adoration arises from selfless responsibility, not self-proclamation. A king is adored only within his kingdom, but a saint is adored everywhere. Do not declare yourself a king; be made one by others. A self-made ruler is a dictator, not a true king. When a dictator's dog died, the whole village attended the funeral. When the dictator died, no one came. When a great saint enters Mahāsamādhi, all mourn. Therefore, focus on becoming a kingmaker, not a king yourself. In Rāja Yoga, you are the king of your own inner kingdom. You are responsible for your body, health, and thoughts. Do no harm to yourself; suicide is the greatest sin. You came into this life alone and will depart alone. This human life is given to serve creation. Practice yoga and meditation to avoid depression. Do not be troubled by who comes, goes, believes, or respects you. The selfish love common in the world causes divorce and war. True love is equal for all, expressed as kindness and forgiveness. Modern technology has isolated people. We must rebuild healthy families and communities. Walk the path of truth with discernment.
"Be a kingmaker. Don’t become a king yourself."
"This life, human life, God has given to serve God’s creation."
