Keys to successful living
Part 1
Everyone wants to be successful in life,
but where are keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys,
or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examin life, we can see that it is divide
in two aspects--- life within andf life without; internal life and external
life- and we can see that these are the aspects are of equal importance. Even
if we have renounced the world, gone far away from civilization, and we live in
the wildrness doing nothing but, meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We
still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practice on
time. S o life in the external world is as important as life in the internal
world.
Even one who has renounced the world has
to understand the world relationship properly, because life itself is actually
relationship. The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to
the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all function together as a unit.
So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being
requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationship
within oneself.
All human beings have inner potentials,
but many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know how to use
them to have a successful life.
