"Profitable", of course, has a number of meanings and contexts, but the one being used here is "for personal benefit", though not necessarily financial or monetary or any other physical way. One can certainly live an extraordinary life - in human standards - without being rich in earthly treasures, or even pleasures, whatever they might mean in their particular culture. Some might even expand the term to include "good family", "good friends", "good health" and other "good" things, but here - for purposes of this bit - the suggestion is of one particular thing only. "Control of Consciousness."
Ordinary people are not in control of the consciousness that surrounds their body - inside and outside - to the degree that they can participate jointly with its many discernible features, and the relationship between Consciousness and their ordinary simple awareness, is as a Master and a slave - using the ordinary meanings of those terms. One is infinitely more complex, powerful and free than the other that is, comparatively, just barely at all.
Ordinary people think their favorite term, "Love", rules all, controls all - "hey, all you need is love" - but what is "love"? It remains impossible to define and is closer to an ACTION than a thought or feeling or sensation. If one can ACT in a loving way, and in control of that action at all times - as much as possible, and then some - then why on earth is any definition required? People can't just DO THAT, Love Consciously that is - and the ordinary world around us proves that fact, there's almost no love there and things are getting worse every day. All their talk, talk, talk notwithstanding. Talk gets the masses nowhere. And it certainly does not lead to Love (whatever that apparently was intended to suggest when it was just now written in words that entered your eyeballs.)
The Master moves and the slave must react appropriately and if not, there are consequences that will be paid. Says the Master: "Love is for pussies - you work for ME, for your entire short life, get used to it! Now have we got a deal, or are we going to have a problem?"
It is better to live in the REAL WORLD, than to fantasize how things could be different, if only, if only. Such talk is meaningless. There is no escaping the Master, Life, before ones time, so the most profitable method to exist, even prosper (esoterically) is to discover the Rules, live by the Rules, and even to create new rules as you go, so as to make your way through that jungle in one piece, at least until the scythe's Owner makes His appearance at your door. Knock, knock.
"Who's there?" s/he said sheepishly?
