Keys to successful
living
Part 1
Everyone wants to be successful in
life, but where are the keys to success? 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 have 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 preform practices on time. So life in the external world is as
important as the life in internal world.
Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the
world relationship properly, because life itself is actually relationship. The body
is related to the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The bodies,
breathe, senses, and mind all functions together as a unit. So life virtually
means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding
of ones 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 and do not know how to use them to have a successful life. Those
who are not happy internally can never be happy externally ; those who are not
happy with themselves can never make others happy. Those who do not love
themselves can never love others.
If we are not happy how can we be successful in life.
