Keys to Successful living Part 1
Everyone wants to be
successful in life, but where are the 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 examine life, we can see that it is divided into two aspects –
life within and life without; internal life and external life – and we can see
that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the
world, gone far away from civilization, and live in the wilderness doing
nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see
that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practices on time. So 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
word 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 relationships
within oneself.
All human have inner
potentials, but many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know
how to use them to have success in life. Those who are not happy internally can
never be happy externally; those who are not happy within themselves can never
love others.
If we are not happy, how can we be successful in life?
