In the tough journey through countless births, it is a
unique blessing to be born as a human being.
The human birth gives us the exclusive opportunity to pursue the
Purusharthas , which are:
1. Dharma (righteousness),
2. Artha (wealth),
3. Kama (desire) and
4. Moksha (salvation).
Even in our brief life span, there is the inbuilt chance to
gain access to knowledge of God, experience His infinite greatness, and seek
salvation.
We are all immortal souls living
and growing in the great school of earthly experience in which we have lived
many lives. A great sage once said: there is one thing God cannot do: God cannot
separate Himself from us. We are the undying consciousness and energy flowing
through all things. Our energy and God's energy are the same, both coming out
of the void. Deep inside we are perfect this very moment, and we have only to
discover and live up to this perfection to be whole.
This bountiful creation called
the world is meant for us to live positively in it, facing karma and fulfilling
dharma. We can live joyously, without
despising or fearing the world. We fulfil our desires, shape our destiny and
our souls get matured here. Through our journey, we grow from ignorance into
wisdom, from darkness into light and from a consciousness of death to
immortality.
The world is a glorious place, a
playground for humans, where young souls interrelate with the old; the young
experiencing their karma while the old souls hold firmly to their dharma. The
young grow; the old know. We have to take care to not become immersed in
worldliness but to remain affectionately detached, like a drop of water on a
lotus leaf, being in the world but not of it, walking in the rain without
getting wet.
As we go about our daily duties,
we tend to get stressed, worry about even insignificant things and get angry
when our wishes don’t get fulfilled or events don’t progress our way.
About 70% of our physical body
is made up of water. Two thirds of this water is located inside our cells and
one-third outside our cells. Water is often perceived as God, Goddess, or
divine agency in many religions. Water reminds us to dive beneath the surface
of our feelings and use intuition for better understanding. Water is a sacred
being that holds life on earth; a seed in the soil does not germinate until it
receives water, which demonstrates that it is the spirit of water that ignites
the production of life. From a spiritual perspective, through the spiritual
networks, planet earth is seen as an irregular ball immersed in water. If the
sacred gift of earth is life, then water is the custodian of life.
Water is the reconnecting
element between our materialistic life and the spiritual world. Water conducts
energy and is very transformable. Taking a dip in the ocean or any natural body
of water, even getting your feet wet in salt water draws out toxins and the
healing negative ions induce serotonin release, alleviate depression, relieve
stress, and increase energy.
Today let us take the blessing
from water to release three negative emotions that hold back our life. Let us do this short exercise to remove
stress, worry and anger. We will imagine the waves of an ocean. Its water is
salty. Salt is a mineral known for its capability to extract and absorb
negative energies.
