The sense of lack.

Whenever we want to do something, whatever, we can be sure that we are in lack of something. We would assume, thereby, that all action is in fulfilment of one lack or the other. Within the immediate range, this seems obvious. But speaking long term, the fulfilment we seek through action is a settling of our restless mind. Ironically, the restless mind is hardly settled by any action whatsoever. If action does not settle the mind, what would? To get the answer, we have to know what makes the mind restless. Is restlessness the true nature of the mind? No. Then what causes it? What causes a restless mind is our sense of incompleteness. We ever feel something is lacking so naturally the question is what is lacking? It appears this is the question we are born to answer in more ways than one. We imagine by doing this or getting that we would end our lack because we see only into the immediate vincity and imagine that our lack is material. Truly, our lack is caused by ignorance, which supposes we have a lack remedial this way or that. But the truth is we have no lack. We are complete. We feel negatively only because we are not in communion with our soul, wherein we shall experience the fullness of our being.
