Thoughts are killing our supreme silence. A gas balloon naturally goes up, so cut the thread attached to something, then it will easily go up. In this way, we are all bound by relationships or other things, so cut that and go deep into samadhi.
 
We all want to live happily, but this is like a gold chain which we do not want to beak. Always pray to God to keep you in a bad condition, then only will you come closer to God and experience tranquility. Just try to go deeper, deeper and deeper. Become empty. Lose your identity.
 
Commentary by Koji:
 
The material world is a prison. The gold chain is material happiness, which binds us to the prison wall. We must break the gold chain, but as we like the chain, we do not do it, and therefore do not attain true happiness.
 
If we are attached to worldly happiness, we will not make the effort to become spiritual. The pleasures of the world are transient, as the effects always disappear. True happiness only comes from spiritual realisation, as only this kind of pleasure has effects that are eternal. One cannot lose a realisation.
 
We become blind towards spiritual truths when comes the happiness of the world, and when this happens, we become diverted from the path to true happiness. Therefore, we should pray that material pleasures like money, woman and name and fame should not come, so that we do not become diverted from the path to eternal happiness.
 
We are on the surface of the sea, trying to catch nice waves, nice vibrations. However, each wave disappears after a time, and we are left with our hands empty. When we understand that it is useless to search for eternal happiness on the surface, we go down below, thus escaping from the noise. At the bottom, there are no vibrations, only Supreme Tranquility.
 
To achieve this, we have to go deep into meditation, cutting all the attachments to the material world, and ultimately its root, the individual ego. When we become empty of attachments and all vibrations, and lose our identity, we will see that the self with its happinesses is illusory, and will find our true Self, with its Absolute Happiness.
