So you want a better life?
The question is what is life?
Very few people can answer this question. Can you? It is very strange that people want to improve life, while they do not even know what it is. Usually when people refer to life, they mean their story. Are you also one of those who, when say they want to improve their life mean that they want to improve their story. Your story is about - what you do, what you have, how you look, how many people know you and what you possess. But that is not life.
Life is larger than your story. Life is perhaps the canvas on which your story appears. There is nothing metaphysical or pseudo-spiritual or mystical to say that life is the intelligence behind everything. And if you really want to improve the quality of your life, you have to tune into that intelligence.
So where would you find that intelligence, how do you tune into life and why are you not in-sync-with life in the first place?
The answer to all these questions is one. If you want to find great intelligence, if you want to get-in-sync with life, look no-where, but now-here. That is true, right here, right now, where you are is the access point of life. When you are in tune with here-now, you are in tune with life.
It would be interesting to find out for yourself, how often are you able to respond to the here-now. It would be rarely. When a person comes to you, you do not look at the person, you look at another story (formed out of experiences with that person) that is the past operating in you. When you look at a beautiful landscape, you are immediately reminded to make plans for the holiday you hope to enjoy - that is the future operating you. So it hardly happens that you are enjoying this moment and place or just being with this moment. |
