that is not given to you by the outside, and is not an idea -

to make you aware of all that is "mind"
and disidentify yourself from it.

which makes you more joyous, fulfills you,
gives you contentment, makes your life a work of art, a beauty.
But this is possible only if the master in you is awake.
