Seeing and listening are the basic gifts by nature to all human beings. They are gifts only when there is joy in your heart, when you are watching or listening to something. Is it possible at all that just by watching something my heart is filled with great ecstasy? It happens very easily when you are with nature, like when you are watching sunset, a bird on the fly, and the morning freshness of the mind...etc. In all the above said things we forget ourselves very easily. So whenever I forget myself and the mind became silent, simple and still there is this ecstasy in our hearts. Till this point life is simple.
I think the whole problem is we are aware of the fact that behind this ecstasy there is self-forgetfulness, which means you died for your sorrows, pleasures, fears, and burdens of day to day life for a moment and there exists this benediction. Our ignorance of this fact makes us run after success, power, position, money, sex, drink, recognition...etc. So ignorance which does not know us, is the root of all sorrow. Whenever we try to repeat our pleasures there followed the sorrow. Knowing about the self is the primary education for every human being.
