What’s something you believe everyone should know.
The basis of our life
Our life is not the superficial materialistic objects we have and seek. We are much more beyond that. I want every human to experience the vastness that we are…much more beyond that which meets the eye.
However currently the human race is so engrossed in worldly events like luxury, sex,power etc forgetting the aim of life that is understanding the beyond. Some people are so deeply rooted in these objects that they are addicted to their lifestyle making it difficult to break the cycle.
If you observe carefully even animals have their natural faculties functioning on a level beyond humans. For instance they know when it’s time to give birth, how to care for their children,when a particular situation is dangerous, they also know when a natural calamity will strike. They know when it’s time to die and they do so peacefully in a secluded corner. Withdrawing itself from the surroundings. So when animals can function so well just on instinct why cant we develop our instincts as well. Why do we lack or doubt ourselves.
This is because we have attuned our mind outwards. Towards the tendencies that are satisfied by the sense organs but we have failed to nurture our inner dimensions.
For all who believe this to be a myth, I suggest you to start self inquiry. As even when you lose your mind you exist and even when you shed your body you continue to exist. So who am I that exists beyond the body and mind?
In conclusion, I would like to quote the Atma Bodha Upanishad that says, “Just as even a small spark of light can eliminate intense darkness, Similarly, a small spark of insight Can eliminate self-ignorance”. Wishing you all a happy journey inwards.
