point a

first there was emptiness. then came dissatisfaction. unless you can go back to emptiness, there is dissatisfaction - permanently.

so how does a householder (grihasth/ini) handle dissatisfaction? by accepting that this is the base of human interaction but not the truth of life. so everytime somebody expresses dissatisfaction - you bring them gently back to the truth.

how do you do this? primarily through love and silence. when the heart speaks, there is usually no need for words.
