(15/12/21) The Inner Void Can Not be Filled With Things

The void, the emptiness is inside & we try to fill it with outer things, bigger things, bigger houses, bigger cars. The void is like something made of air or water, that is formless, and only something formless can fill it.

On my way back home from Office while listening to Ustad Amjad Ali Khan Sahab performing magic with his wand in the car stereo with the view of Dhauladhar Ranges in front of me, I realized this:

The void, the emptiness is inside & we try to fill it with outer things, bigger things, bigger houses, bigger cars.
The void is like something made of air or water, that is formless, and only something formless can fill it.
I can think of listening to soulful music, singing, dancing, reading, writing, traveling, having insightful conversations with strangers, etc. that are formless things that fill the void for me.

What are some formless things or experiences that fill your inner void? Let me know by replying to this email.
