Tendencies don't suffer. You do. You are not your tendencies. Had you been your tendencies, why would there have been any suffering? Tendencies proceed as per pre-set patterns of chemical reactions. That's what tendencies do. And when tendencies do that, tendencies are all right. You are not all right, when you act as per your tendencies. You have to first of all know who is the one who is asking this question and who is restless. You are the conscious mind, you are the thinking mind, you are the incomplete self, that's how you have conceptualized yourself to be. You're the incomplete "I" chasing associating with tendencies in a hope that such an association would give you fullness. Of course the hope keeps getting belied again and again. It is another matter that we never learn. Had your restlessness been a chemical reaction then it could have been doused and mitigated or totally pacified using another chemical or some other reaction. How do you neutralise a chemical, using another chemical. And there are so many who ask the same question and come up with a false answer, so they start thinking that their restless is chemical (chemical means material). So what do they do about the restlessness? They start feeding it chemicals and materials. You can either feed it a giant mansion or marijuana. Both are chemicals, both are materials. There is someone who tries to assuage his restlessness through a mansion and there is someone who tries to replace it through marijuana. Are the two any different? Spirituality is not an endeavor for the brainless. Spirituality is for the one who has gone till the last limit of the brain, explored it, tested it, and gained the fullest that could be from mental activity. And having gained the fullest that could be gained from mental activity, realised that there is only so much that the brain and the mind is capable of. And then say now, the beyond. Now, the beyond. Realisation is very, very subtle. My favorite is "If you know that you have realized, then you haven't" If you know that you know, then you don't. If you know that you are, then you aren't. Right now, here, if you know that you are listening, then you aren't. Only the ones who do not even know that they are listening are actually listening.

Spirituality is not an endeavor for the brainless but for the one who has gone till the last limit of the brain, explored it, and tested it.
