Only when we are\naware of the quality that creates the utility and fall in love with\nit, it becomes eternal.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In\nlife, the first thing we created is the \u201ci\u201d with which we\nperceive the world.  As it has tremendous utility, we fall in love\nwith it.  In the process, we forget that we have access to the\nquality with which we created the \u201ci\u201d in the first place.  This\narticle deals with how we fall into the trap of utility and gives a\ntechnique to experience the quality.  That quality is our real\nnature.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The love of \u201ci\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In\nyour life, you try to gauge, study, cognize, and understand\neverything based on the idea \u201ci\u201d.  The \u201ci\u201d with which you\nperceive the world is experienced as important and glorious, because\nonly with its support you are able to perceive and enjoy.  What you\nperceive as \u201ci\u201d is enchanting, mesmerizing, and most useful than\nanything else.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>As\nit provides a lot of utility value, you just possess and grab that\n\u201ci\u201d.  You have so much of greed to keep it functioning and have\nso much of fear of losing it.  As it is the first useful thing in\nyour life, you are in love with it, you celebrate and enjoy it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Quality creates utility<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>At\npresent, you are celebrating the \u201ci\u201d for its utility value and\nnot because of the quality of it.  We miss the quality that creates\nthe utility.  More and more you celebrate the \u201ci\u201d because of the\nutility value, more and more your life becomes dead.  More and more\nyou start understanding the quality of the \u201ci\u201d, more and more\nyour life becomes alive.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>A small shift<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If\nyou look at your life only based on utility value, your eyes are\nimportant as they help you see; ears are important to listen; tongue\nhelps you to taste.  Do not go on cognizing anything based only on\nutility value. Let your emotions not be based on utility value.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>You\nneed just a small shift.  When you look at the quality instead of the\nutility alone, life becomes totally different.  Do not reduce your\nconsciousness to utility value.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Technique<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Do\nthe following 3 steps to work towards falling in love with the\nquality behind existence.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol><li>\nFind\n\tthe quality behind an object that provides utility in your life\n\t<\/li><li>\nFind\n\tthe quality behind a person who creates utility in your life\n\t<\/li><li>\nFind\n\tthe quality behind the \u201ci\u201d that provides the most utility for\n\tyour life\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<h3>Details for Step 3<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul><li>\nWhat\n\tis the quality which is lighting my eyes, making my ears active,\n\tmaking my nose alive, making my tongue taste, what is the quality of\n\tI which is making all this alive, which enlightens all this?\n\t<\/li><li>\nWhat\n\tis this \u201ci\u201d which makes me think a million thoughts a moment and\n\tmakes me decide by handling large data which even a billion super\n\tcomputers can\u2019t do?
