When You Are One
(To be free within is beyond oneness)
Do you ever wonder why is it we as human beings are not genuinely contented? Why are we not happy? Do you ever smile or laugh just the the sake of it? on the other hand, like so many of us, do you think life is a dreadful thing to be tolerated until your physical death gives you rest form this horrific existence? Does it not concern you at all or is it you are concerned, but feel you are too busy to think about this? Maybe, like most of us, you feel you do not have the time to inquire. our daily lives are full, occupied and consist of various activities of school, work, leisure, and different forms of entertainment, which includes one of our favorite activities, sex. As long as we are occupied, the understanding of our lives goes unquestioned and unanswered.
"Spiritual freedom is to live whole."
A vibrant life of happiness must concern us all, as human beings. In order to be happy, we must understand the wholeness of life on all levels of existence in which the physical and mental aspects must be examined and explored. Having a healthy mind and body is an intelligent component of living. A complete understanding of our body and its functions is most important, is it not? To be healthy, which implies wholeness, is to maintain the physical body through cleanliness, proper diet and sufficient exercise. To heal and rejuvenate the physical and mental organism, we must receive an adequate amount of rest and sleep. A wholesome lifestyle also includes correct breathing, flexibility and relaxation to keep the body energetic and on the alert. Our emphasis must be on the quality of our lives and not just the quantity. Longevity has its place when it includes the fulfillment of living righteously and virtuously.
To bring about a holistic lifestyle, ones home and surrounding environment must be neat, with everything in its proper place. This means having everything well organized with sufficient space throughout. When all the exterior factors of ones life are in order, the next step is to put our inner house in order so the mind and body may function as one harmonious entity. There has to be a harmony of mind-body, not as two distinct and conflicting units trying to work together while in conflict with each other, but one singularity. To understand this relationship every aspect of ones life must be examined carefully.
Spirituality and the integration of life.
There is a Saying, ‘when you are hungry-eat, when you are thirsty-drink, when you are tired-sleep, when you have to excrete-go to the bathroom.’ Surely, you can understand the full meaning and importance of this. After all, it is ignorance, which blinds the understanding and simplification of the life form. To be an intelligent human being is to flow with nature effortlessly and to live in equilibrium. Now to go further, our inner house, the consciousness, must be in order. To reflect on the interior workings of our consciousness may be considered an arduous task. Some of our thoughts are obvious and some are subtle, and so the mind is under constant unrest. Our consciousness is filled with thoughts, fears, desires and many other things that must be faced with the total perception of a non-exclusive seeing which empties the mind and heart. It is the silence of the mind that brings clarity, order and peace. To integrate the mind-body relationship is to bring them into union, which is harmony. When ones life is in natural order, the unknown awakens and lives in you. A harmonious unification comes into being with oneself and in relationship with all others. Then you are one with the whole universe and your life is a complementary existence with all living and nonliving things. To understand this, is the ultimate way of living in unification and oneness with all life, effortlessly.
