The awakened nature is with us all the time. And the calling us, what we call, we all have homesickness. What is homesick? Wanting to be happy, don't want to suffer, that with us all the time. And that is calling from our true nature, the awakened nature within us calling us come home. Or the feeling of hollowness, empty, sometimes we feel that empty.
Even the loneliness, even the feeling of dissatisfaction, incompleteness is also a kind of message, a kind of wisdom that is calling us to come home. Why? Our true nature is what we call free from suffering. It is not incomplete. It is complete. So the awakened nature, what we call, is with us all the time. We need to connect with that. We need to discover that. We need to recognize that.

There are two matters. So what I call the innate purpose, innate matters, and the temporary with the cause and condition. So the innate matter is that we have this our true nature always there calling us that is our true nature. But then of course, look for job, good job, we think is good. Good relationship is good. Fame, power, money also we think good.

Or whatever we want to do, if we achieve that, we think that's the matters for me. That is the outer circumstances, temporary things. But at a certain level, if we go away from our true nature, even though there's fame, power, money, whatever we achieve, we still feel the hollowness, incompleteness, something missing.

But then what we call, if you connect more with our innate quality, for example, if you do social work, or if you have good time with your family, or if you help somebody, you feel really happy. That hollowness go away, feeling like you're coming home. Why? Because we are really connecting with the real matter within ourselves.

And also with the awareness, like scientists saying that everybody has some kind of baseline, that happy or not happy, some kind of baseline. And they said that this baseline is very difficult to change. Like even you win the lottery, 80 million dollars you got it, it's good for a few months only. Then it's come back to the baseline. And the relationship, very good marriage, also a few years.

And fame, power, money, all this helps a little bit. But then you come back to the baseline. So the only two things help a little bit longer. One is if you get the salary in your community, you are the number one. The amount doesn't matter. But if you get the best salary, you feel a little bit happy for a longer time. Another thing is plastic surgery. It helps better.

But then there's this study about if somebody watch the breathing, to be aware of the breath, maybe every day, five minutes or 30 days. After 30 days, then there's an enduring benefit. So by this awareness, Looks like for me, when I first time learn this awareness meditation, watching my breath, I feel like stupid and boring. So when we do that, actually our baseline can change.
