Home is not faraway lar. Home is when one is centred within oneself (cognizant of the Mind(ego) and simply partaking of life in all that one comes across. One enjoys the house, the car, the spouse but one is wise and knows that all can go. My meaning of self-centredness is opposed to the conventional meaning of selfishness (which is hoarding, inconsiderate etc).The one who is centred within him/herself is one is abundaantly 'rich' within and is no longer dependent on the outside for fulfilment. One is oveflowing, one is able to share.
As an aside - insecurity in oneself - seeking a home in a house lar, seeking ahome in a person lar - seeking security outside of oneself - in my opinion it is simply propping oneself and feeling secure. Anxiety belies this state of mind.
Eg, I noticed a woman walking into a coffeeshop and she had a handbag, a grocery bag and it was so very apparent that she was insecure. She was waving her car keys!
Those who flaunt their wealth and try so very hard - are actually very insecure lar. It is a bluff - behind that personality, the projection, the material stuff anxiety dominoes him/her.
This is a person who is rich on the outside but so very malnourished and impoverished on the inside. Wonder how those close to her feel or have they imbibed her ......
Home is where the conscience dwells.![]()
If I keep saying 'this is right, and that is wrong' - it is conscience. I m conditioning u, implanting what is right/wrong in you. Conscience as such, is reptition of what has been acquired from the past - thru politicians, thru family, thru priest, thru society. One unconsiously repeats and one is caught in a bind of what is .... One repeats it. It worthless n it is not real The real thing is one's own consciousness (understanding, alertness to what IS). It has no ready-made answers about what is right/wrong, It is freeing and one is able to respond to the situation at hand. Conscience reacts to the .. consciousness responds to what IS
This is my view n my expereince.

U mean two sides of the same coin?

The same coin.
There is no absolute true or false, just that we see only one side of a coin. Conscience lies on the thinest slice ignore by one's eyes.
Edifying stance
I have spend some years overseas. I wish my best years were spent there. I am working freaking hard to make sure at least my final years are not spent here.
Apparent lar - rantings of a displaced brain!
Displaced brain? Maybe. I rather be that than deluded.
