What has potential to convert our predatory behavior (seeking) into a state of rest?

Likes and dislikes are only the labels that we have created centered around an illusory ghost called “I”.
This divides and limits life.
This is our fatal mistake.
When an event takes place, the event comes first, and the “I enjoyed it” label comes later.
You go to watch a game.
You didn’t know your favorite team was gonna win, but they played well and worked very hard.
All the play happened, and when victory came, happiness arose; you say, “My team won.”
How is it “your” team? Do you own it?
What was your contribution to that victory? None.
Enjoy the victory, enjoy their play, but keep “I” out; it has nothing to do with “You”, because there is no “I”.
Happiness happened; you don’t own it.
“I” is that false idea of ownership that only keeps desiring for more and more such events (and suffers when they don’t happen).
Life manifests as events; you don’t.
Events belongs to life, not you.
Accepting life as it is is not negativity; it is slowly removing the falsely created Ego and becoming attuned to the positive power of existence manifesting via the myriad of transient events in life.
Existence IS forever, as the silent shunya state.
“I” is a false ownership that keeps getting applied to various transient events of life.
Nothingness is the only reality; everything else is transient and unreal.
We have created an artificial world, which manufactures a world of names and forms, and we are lost in it.
They say, “What is in a name?”
But there is a lot in a name.
Names are like hyperlinks.
As soon as you think of a friend, his name will pop up first, followed by his physical appearance, his personality, his characteristics, and your experiences with him.
Now, try to think of the same friend, but keep his name out.
What happens?
Your mind will get confused. It wouldn’t know what to do.
The mind is like a vault, a holder of millions of such names (objects, people, situations), each name hyperlinked to gigabytes of information drawn from the man-made artificial world, all useless in knowing THE TRUTH.
Before man came, none of the life forms had names, and yet, it created us !!
How important names can be?
Going beyond the names is going beyond the mind and swimming in the formless ocean.
Same thing with the “I”.
“I” is the “name” you have given to all your experiences in life, stitched together; that’s all.
It’s not real; it is artificial.
Life is free, it cannot be stitched.
But by getting lost in “I”, we miss out on the most important experience that we all are here for.
“I”, an ignorance, has been able to hide the truth of life, just the way a small thumb can easily mask the mighty Sun.
Names are fantasies; they limit us; life is a reality.
The namelessness connects with reality.
Naming a rose gives you an individualized, limited experience.
At that level, a rose can be easily compared with jasmine or any other flower.
But by not naming it, its ephemeral beauty surfaces.
The name Shiva has been given to the existence, the totality.
Would the existence change if we didn’t call it Shiva?
Is the name Shiva important for worshiping the existence?
On the contrary, naming him “Shiva” only leads to idol worship, tons of rituals, and religious wars.
In the process, by giving it the name Shiva, we have deified existence, hoping it will fix all our life problems.
We are lost in the name Shiva, a fantasy, and we die in one.
Existence remains the same, with or without the name Shiva.
The beauty of Geeta lies not in Krishna worship, but in connecting with the formless and nameless life.
When we stop believing the world of names, the silence surfaces, bringing the truth of life to your doorstep.
