You Are Not Lost

Video details

Recorded on: 8 Oct 2005
Language: English, Croatian
Length: 0h 03m

A spiritual discourse addressing disappointment and cultivating inner resilience.

"Why should they love you? What is so special about you that they should love you? Did you ask yourself if you love others?"

"If anyone is disappointed, do not suffer from your disappointment. Because this disappointment is not the last one; it is merely the first one. We will celebrate the last one."

An unnamed speaker offers direct counsel on overcoming feelings of being unloved and lost. He challenges the listener's expectations of love, advises against comparative and self-weakening thoughts, and critiques modern societal temptations. The core teaching is to accept life's fluctuations, become independent through practices like meditation and satsang, and not identify with transient disappointments.

Sometimes in life, a situation arises where one feels lost. You may think no one loves you. But ask yourself: why should they love you? You often say, "No one loves me," but have you considered why they should? What is so special about you that they should love you? Did you ask yourself if you love others? Do you even understand love? That is the point. Thoughts like "everyone loves us" or "no one loves us" are weak. They psychologically weaken you further. Therefore, one should not think this way. You must cultivate more motivation in your life. You should attend satsaṅg and become independent. Do not compare yourself with others, and do not think you have lost everything. You have not lost. And if you did lose something, it was merely given to you and then taken back. That is all. This modern world is full of temptations and disappointments. Remember what I said yesterday evening: nowadays, at the time of marriage, they have to sign two documents—one for marriage and one for divorce. And they have to sign the divorce form first, just in case. If not, then they are not to utilize it. It is a crazy situation, a crazy education. So, if anyone is disappointed, do not suffer from your disappointment. Because this disappointment is not the last one; it is merely the first one. We will celebrate the last one. That is it. Therefore, take things as they are. Meditate, pray, and do good. And do Śiva—do not depend on someone. It comes, comes; it goes, goes ... and it is gone. --- Recording location: Croatia, Cakovec, Croatian Tour October 2005
