The most mysterious thing about
Life is Life itself. It is ONLY the Life that teaches what is Life and that too
one-on-one. Even to learn from the experiences of others be it elders, Gurus,
Nature or the Life around, even these things are part of Life; hence it is ONLY
the Life that teaches itself how to live – in a harsh way if we do not heed; in
a beautiful way if we are in tune. If one revolts to be in tune with, it adopts
the harsh way. It is wisdom that we be in tune with Life (inside and outside), which
is also called Nature (inside and outside). How to be in tune with Nature? It
is only by tuning into one’s own heart. Heart is something that is always
pulsating with Life giving us a hint that it is our own Centre/Source to be in
tune with.
It is interesting to note that
every life, (without exception, whether it is human life or plant life or
animal life or mineral life); whether we know it or not, whether we like it or
not, whether we acknowledge it or not, revolves around things that are invisible
and intangible.
Let’s take the example of human
life that has physical aspects; mental aspects; emotional aspects and spiritual
aspects.
At the physical level: Thirst,
Hunger, sensuality rule our life – all invisible. Human being just responds to
these instincts or signals.
At the Mental Level: Thought;
Urge to know; Intellect - again all invisible, human being just acts according
to thoughts and the urge to know more and more.
At the emotional level: Feelings;
Emotions; Inspirations; ego – the invisible things that rule our life; we
either succumb or yield to these prompts.
At the Spiritual Level:
Craving/Longing; Purity; Simplicity; Profundity; Perfection – again most
invisible things, the substratum of all the invisible things mentioned above.
These innermost things govern human life.
Normally the first three levels
are active in every human being and the fourth level is dormant; that is not
awakened or mildly awakened. If this realm is awakened somehow, the human life
falls into place in scheme of things of Nature/God/Unknown/Life/Ultimate Truth.
The point is our whole Life is
driven constantly by so many invisible and intangible forces; We are only yielding
to or trying to gain control over these things; We are incessantly dealing with
The Invisible and yet apparently we are also denying this reality. This I feel
is because the fourth dimension in us not awakened still. This is awakened by
yet another Invisible and Intangible Subtle Force/Principle called Guru. May
every one deepen their Longing for Guru or The Guiding Principle that makes
one’s life be navigated in the ONLY direction that is right!
