Everyone
wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have
to go out and search for those keys, or do we have potentials already in
ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it’s 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 live 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 world 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 a 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 as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus
the art of the living and being requires and understanding of once relationship
to the external world and the relationships within oneself.
All human
beings have inner potentials, but many people are not aware of those potentials
do not know how to use the to have successful life. Those who are not happy
internally can never be happy externally; those who are not happy within
themselves can never make others happy.
Those who do not love themselves never love others.
