To become more aware, it is necessary to do something that you haven't done. Everything that you have done will only make you as aware as you are now.

You've got to make a person aware of how miserable they really are and show them how happy they can be. Otherwise, why should they seek this nebulous goal called self-discovery.

Happiness is self-generated as the mind becomes still. As we become involved with the desires of the world, we lose that centering, that stillness.
