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 those keys, or do we have those potentials already within
ourselves? When we begin to exam life, we can see that it 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 renounced the world,
gone far away from civilization, and life 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
road 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 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.
