Wellbeing
We are one consciousness
May
Sat chit Ananda
Witnessing the beautiful creation of this planet and discovering our true selves.
When we gaze upon the world around us and feel a deep connection with everything, our days become more serene. All external existence is already within us; we belong to everything. Every living being, including humans, is composed of the same five elements that form the essence of our bodies and minds, derived from the Earth itself.
So, what are we truly seeking? At the end of the day, everyone yearns for inner peace and happiness. Some will continue this quest until their last breath. Some busily accumulate material possessions to feed their ego (an illusion), others turn to substances to numb their pain and seek solace, some engage in unnecessary conflicts fueled by anger and ego in pursuit of peace, and some simply postpone truly living.
Life unfolds in every passing second. No achievement or acquisition will ever fulfil our perpetual desires and wants; these feelings ebb and flow endlessly. Truthfully, everyone seeks a peaceful and joyful life, yet some seek it in the future, others in the afterlife, and some in an imaginary heaven.
However, life is here and now. All our thoughts, plans, and accumulations will fade one day—this is an undeniable truth, including our bodies and the memories stored in our minds.
To reconnect with the source, see yourself mirrored in flowers and the splendour of this planet, see yourself in others. You are everything, and everything is you; you embody bliss. Shedding ego and ignorance opens your eyes to truth and peace. You are divine.
It is our choice whether we listen to noise or seek tranquillity, keep our minds at peace, and live in the present moment.
Living in fear of loss, death, petty judgments, hatred, anger, revenge, control, fame, or name holds no significance. What’s the point of ego-driven achievements if inner happiness eludes you and life remains in sorrow? Why accumulate unnecessary clutter that you won’t need someday?
The universe has existed and will continue for millions of years, but our bodies and memories are transient. For our living bodies, we need nourishment from good food, water, air, fire, and space. A healthy mind with positive emotions nurtures our living cells. Love, compassion, truth, respect, and empathy form the ethical and moral foundation of a fulfilling life, filling our hearts with peace and satisfaction as we give back to the Earth what we take.
When we control our illusions and ego-driven desires for success and wealth, anxiety and stress diminish. Embracing a simple and beautiful life, content with inner peace is a path worth considering.
We are interconnected and indivisible; everything is within us.
We are the observers of our minds and bodies (pure consciousness), and our minds and bodies witness the world through our senses.
Live in the present moment, be happy, and focus on what truly matters to you. Live authentically, with love, compassion, and truth. All pain, suffering, sickness, attachments, and desires are transient. Your heaven or hell exists only as long as your mind does. When the mind ceases to function, illusions fade away, desires cease to exist, and there is neither heaven nor hell, only a state akin to deep sleep.
Keep your mind and body healthy and joyful for as long as your consciousness can experience it.
According to the ancient scripture Vedas, which dates back 6000 years (not tied to any specific religion), life is pure consciousness or Atman. It embodies:
- Sat: Truth, absolute being, enduring and unchanging.
- Chit: Consciousness, understanding, and comprehension.
- Ananda: Bliss, a state of pure happiness, joy, and sensual pleasure.
We are nothing but pure consciousness, experiencing this dreamlike world with our bodies and minds until we attain Ananda Bliss. Life is here and now.
Ganesh Healing.
