3 stages of being.
1st stage –
You want to be appreciated, complimented, admired, looked up to, seen as an achiever and so on.You get some of those but also get the other side of those wants with equal force.
2nd stage –
You want all those things alright. But you also learn to live with a little less care for those. You wish to get those things but you can make do with missing out on them.
3rd stage –
You’re ok with getting everything that you want and equally ok with missing out on them. You’re ok with whatever comes your way.
Which stage are you in?
2)?
The connection between the body and the mind is so intricate that it is almost impossible to put in words. It is impossible to really separate the two as well.
I mean, I’ve been going through a little bit of an issue with my body for a few months now. So, I went to the doctor yesterday. The doc checked me and said that it can be resolved in no time.
Those words were so good to hear that it really lifted my spirits instantly. As I felt good, it made me wonder how everything is really in the package. A fit body compliments your mind and vice versa.
This also made me think about the age old statement that we throw around in terms of spirituality. ‘You’re not this body.’
What does it really mean? Well, it means that the body and the mind are one and you’re all one. The mind is the fine form of physicality. It’s like, imagine a lake and you take a drop of water out of it. Now, that drop assembling with other drops forms the lake and at the same time the lake when divided into miniscule parts can become just a drop of water.
So, ‘you’re not this body’ basically means that you’re not only this body. You’re truly One. You’re One from the Unchanging to the fine form to finally the gross form.
Om Shanti…..?
