We as humans are just a tiny part of this lovely creation all around us
of atoms, molecules, organisms, ecosystems, planets and of course the whole
universe. Our own life is just a microscopic part of this divine creation where
everything is happening all the time. In order to survive, where change is
constant, our life must keep evolving to stay ahead and in tune.
Life is a divine and continuous living process, 24/7 in action throwing
challenges at us all the time, what we make out of them, how we take them on,
it is always our call to make or mar the most of it. This phenomenon is
happening all the time thus it is vital that we accept the same as it is,
understand the working and enjoy the twists & turns of the whole process.
The process happens within our body, mind, spirit and the soul and we
can choose to ignore and fail to understand thus end up living like a creature
and become a victim or a beneficiary of instincts or choose to just be a party
to it, live aimlessly and become yet another one in the world, in the bargain
may even harm its longevity.
Gainfully, we can choose to be a witness and a facilitator for its
smooth functioning and lead a balanced life. A step further, with due awareness
of the process, proper understanding of its use and benefits, we can explore
the immense potential of these four faculties and use the process properly to
lead a meaningful and enjoyable life.
To put it simply, we all as human beings get life as a divine gift,
which is basically a golden goose that can lay golden eggs. By choice, we may
remain ignorant of its capabilities thus lose any benefit, with carelessness
lose its capacity to be productive, with lust we may go for the overkill and
ruin the capabilities or with greed we may even kill the goose itself. All
Lose-Lose propositions.
A grateful person shall respectfully understand the importance and value
of the goose, its capacity to produce golden eggs and the eggs. He shall focus
on proper nourishment so that the goose lives long and nurture the egg
producing capacity to maximum, to ensure that the golden eggs are laid
regularly and over a long period.
Thus, if we want our living mechanism (body, mind, spirit & soul) to
produce golden eggs and improve its productivity we need to focus and work on
following aspects-:
Body: Give
proper food, rest, regular exercise and meditate for its growth and vitality.
Mind: Feed
information, convert it into knowledge, constantly upgrade and keep balance.
Spirit:
Cultivate mental awareness, consciousness and reasoning for actions.
Soul: Seek to
know the truth, enjoy the life and share love with all.
Once you
are on this path of Life-management, it is an upward spiral growth which leads
to a meaningful and enjoyable life. In this process name, fame, shame,
recognition, wealth, success and or failure are all by-products so do not get
carried away or fall to their lure, very often most of us end up pursuing
by-products as life and get disillusioned, we must let them come and go in our
lives and continue to focus on the main product i.e. the process.
Life is always a divine work in progress, thus you must enjoy the work,
so that the progress is a happening thing, for you as well as for people around
you, too.
