It is important to let Life’s design take care of you
instead of you trying to control that design.
This does not mean inaction. This means
insightful action. This means acting with a deep awareness of the nature of
Life. That everything is transient. That you must live flowing with Life. This
is what living intelligently really means. It means to be live spiritually. To
be spiritual does not mean you must not live well. Spirituality, in fact, makes
no demands on you. There is no need to abstain from anything, no need to
propitiate any Gods, no need to observe any rituals and no need to give up
anything compulsorily. Spirituality is the flowering of inner awareness. An
awakening that teaches you how to live in this world and yet be above it.
When we are merely acting on Life, we are
actually reacting. When we are acting with insight, we are actually
meaningfully, purposefully responding to Life’s every move, every hue. That’s
the only way to live in this world, face all its challenges, and still be above
the world, and unmoved by those very same challenges. Only if you can prevent
death, can you control Life, can you attempt to change its design for you. Without
the ability to control death, controlling Life is like trying to grab and hold
water in your fist__it is, well, improbable, impractical and impossible! The
truth also is that, when you look back at your Life so far, you can’t but agree
with the way your design has evolved. Every success, every tragedy, every
opportunity, every loss, while it didn’t make sense as it unfolded or happened,
appears to have so perfectly fallen in place, so sweetly timed.
So, surrender yourself to the cosmic design and flow with
Life! Only then can you wear the Life it weaves for you on your sleeve!
