Hi,

Only if the cup is empty we can pour in it. In the same way if we keep are expectations, assumptions etc aside only then in any given situation or life we can take things as it comes and enjoy life.
If we are filled with with set of notions like a full cup, we won't be able to accept things like a filled cup.

A) Its utility that is the cups utility is its emptiness so that it may be filled with delicious ,refreshing tea that is enjoyed by me.

Same way my utility is to be connected to myself , be free of the fear, ego ,ignorance , anger so that I may lead my life the way I am contended .
I will be able to do the things more peacefully when I am in sync with my self that is when I empty the unwanted cluster from me .

3. Where can it be used and applied ?

a) It can be used and applied every where in every aspect of life .
ex: I am more scared of the changes that is there is a fear in me for change, the fear of future . When I started working on it there is definitely a difference in me .
b) I want to apply it to the various situations of my life .

4. Who is to use it ?

A) I am to use it.

5. Why?

A) In the previous post link I have read the story of dragon fly . I have realized that when I am happy the way I am in my gurus presence that is I love the way I am behaving , thinking , etc in her presence then why can't I be the same way with myself ? in my own presence every day .I have observed my self and I felt why cant I love myself ? what is wrong with me ? why am I scared of loving myself ? fear was the answer .
