Being Human

The following is my reflection after reading the poem by Climbing PoeTree:
To me Human without Being is like the Sun without Light, Stillness without Movement, Silence without Sound, Up without Down, Beginning without Ending. They are intertwined. There is beautiful Sanskrit word , Sahaja, which means Natural, Effortless. Nature follows her natural rhythm. Body goes through its four natural cycles-birth, growth, decline and death. The challenge for me is to live as a Human Being maintaining connection between Human and Being. Human without Being is incomplete, self-centered, egotistic and narcissistic.

When I take a mindful walk in nature I feel naturally connected with external nature- the vastness of the sky, the touch of the wind, the fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, the sound of silence. I feel such effortless connection between my inner nature and outer nature when I meditate and when I get absorbed in chanting or listening to chanting. I feel at home.

I always take time out to be with me and be fully present with me. I take a mindful walk, meditate, read and reflect on spiritual teachings. I do not feel lonely when I am alone. Such aloneness is a blessing for me to explore my inner self and work on myself.

Namaste!
