YOUR INNER SPACE IS THE SPACE OF COMPLETION!

Kṛṣṇa says, let your inner space not be contaminated by the purpose of life. When you close your eyes, what comes into your mind is your inner space. By nature, your inner space is the space of completion, it is filled with energy; your inner space, what you refer to as ātman, spirit or soul, is filled with blissful energy.
The more you empty yourself of goals or incompletions, the more the space for completion and bliss.
A SMALL EXAMPLE
For example, this room is filled with space. The more furniture you put in it, the more space will leave this room. This room is filled with the energy of ether. The more furniture you bring in, the more ether will be pushed out; the lesser will be the ether energy.
In the outer space, if you furnish your home, it will look very nice. But if you furnish your inner space, it will look very ugly. You need to empty your inside, which is filled with unnecessary furniture. Completion will clear out all unnecessary things from your inner space. It will get you all that you need in the outer world. Don't furnish your inner space. Let your inner space be empty. It will be filled with completion, pūrṇatva. It will be filled with bliss! The only goal in your life.
LIVE LIFE TO FULFILL
YOUR PURPOSE
The more complete inner space
you create, the more blissful
your life will be. That is what
Kṛṣṇa means by saying, 'Don't
be attached to results.'
If you are complete and blissful,
you will never disturb others. If
you are unhappy, naturally you
will vomit that violence on
others.
Purpose can be fulfilled, but
through purpose, your life can
never be fulfilled. When you
carry purposes in your life, you
are not living; purposes are living
through you, that's all.
In your childhood somebody
gives you some purpose like,
'You should become a lawyer or
a doctor.' You are given a
purpose and that purpose is
fulfilled through your life, but
you will never feel fulfilled or
complete.
