Happy to Discover
This community is for anyone who feels drawn to explore and inquire into life — oneself, relationships, meditation, and lived experience — from a happy and open frame of mind. Maybe we are not always joyful, but we trust joy is our true nature.
Happy to Discover is a community where nothing needs to be proven or defended, and where curiosity matters more than positions or conclusions.
It is an ongoing discovery rather than a place of claiming to know, staying open, alive, and willing to learn as life unfolds.

It was kind of a wow. That what egoistic people are seeking is not primarily money, resources and power. The most fundamental currency is Human Attention.
After all, what value does money and power have if it does not give any attention?!
Here is a suggestion to one more definition of Rower, Sitter and Driller:
Driller = Pulling others attention to themself
Sitter = Giving their attention away aimlessly
Rower = Having attention both on oneself and the other simultaneously

“The satori is when you discover what you are here to offer. But people don’t want to offer and give, because then you have to transform. There is always more to give, you will see you cannot remain the same. And also the one who receives has to transform, you cannot receive without being able to give. So almost everyone went to trade. If there is no transformation, there is no satori, and then there is no zest for life. What is your offering? If you offer for real you are not separate, you …

These words from the guru gave me a small glimpse. I realize that I have been imagining life more from desire. Lately I’ve learned that desire and wish are two different things. Desire is only for oneself, most often to fulfill a biological urge, whereas a wish is for the more—for all, not just for oneself. A desire wants to end something; a wish is …

“Samadhi is often mistaken for enlightenment. According to me, it’s the necessary state for enlightenment to happen. What is samadhi? A state when you never escape your transformation.”
“First we get to that state of transformation, then you are. You may feel lonely; it’s just a feeling. And then desire for freedom and many other things will happen”
Does it mean that aloneness has nothing to do with feeling lonely—that true …

“Society is a group of people who come together with a shared agreement to resist transformation. They create rules to live by, and through that, discovery and living one’s uniqueness is forbidden.”
It landed clearly: society often looks like frightened people making a pact — let’s stop creativity, stop uniqueness, stop celebration, and squeeze life into a safe, grey box where nothing truly changes.
A question arises: can we see this collective consciousness objectively, without being entangled in it?
Master later pointed to how identity quietly seeks confirmation:
“When someone …

I was feeling a little bit better today, a bit more open to being corrected. And I’ve learned before from the Guru that unless I am open to there being more — that there is a …

This morning was intense. Master Vimal went into the importance of holding one’s own field, purifying one’s own field, never trespassing, and respecting everyone else’s field.
”One of the best ways is to guard the field of the other, then you’ll learn to guard your own field.”
It felt like an expanded version of the ABC in a way—where I don’t only see others as a person, but …

My mind started going in all kinds of directions. Later, we had a sharing where we were sitting together in a group, and I came to one main conclusion: that I am either proving—by trying to mentally understand everything—or defending, for instance by not daring to get close to people and trying to avoid fear.
But in both situations, I am escaping the transformation that is already happening around me. Me—the self, the …
