Taking further Logic of Life v/s Logic of Humans, Potent life is fine-tuning between Self and Life. Everything else comes in between or as a byproduct of this rhythm. We as a self have desires, dreams, fulfillment needs, our own pleasures, joy, peace, success, and enhancement. Life has its own demand. Life taking care of a larger sphere creates its own situations. Everything depends on how we respond. All rest is an outcome of the choices we take, and the responses we offer.
We strive for our own growth and life strives for the growth of every living being. And most of the time they clash with each other. We are selfish for ourselves, life is selfish for all living beings at once. How to deal with this efficiently, in the progress of both, as eventually, the growth of the self is the growth of life, and growth of life is the growth of every individual being. So fine-tuning is choosing priority wisely and deliberately.
For this, we first need to understand how life performs and how we perform. Life creates situations, and life awakens conditions. The entire living system is the arena of Life. And life has its own logic and science to govern or operate. What we have in our hands is how we respond to life situations and conditions. We have our body, mind, intellect, emotions, spirit, and skills of relationship to operate with. Life has us, all living beings to operate with.
Our soul has its own path for growth and reaching for the highest. And it speaks through the language of emotional reactions. It guides through the desires and aspirations and dreams. The need for peace, the need for pleasure, the need for joy, the need for fulfillment, or satisfaction, the need to take hold or control. All these are the language of the soul. And situation demands and conditions are languages of life. And till one reaches a certain level they mostly differ. And it is both to take care of each other and move upward in life. Now how to cope with both? How to balance or fine-tune?
We need to look at it from two angles. The first one is that at every instance we have to choose between responding to the needs of life or the needs of self. What should we be aware of while responding? What is it asking for and what do we gain out of it? Our eyes should always remain on whether are we growing from within? is it enriching our being? Or is it nurturing the illusionary need created by our mind or false ego? And while responding in favor of the demands of life, we must be aware of how far are we sabotaging ourselves, and our own being and weigh it accordingly and then act. That sounds like too much work. The shortcut is to follow your gut feeling. It knows it all.
To swim or to be swayed away in a flow is what we have to decide between. Control is the need for life and control is the need for self as well. Control assures security, control lets fulfillment, and the need for security and fulfillment is at the very root of all growth activities.
If you have read yesterday’s post, the logic of life v/s the logic of humans, you would have understood that as Humans we have free will also and we have a responsibility as well. Free will is to the extent of making choices and accepting outcomes for the same and shouldering the responsibility to participate in Life’s system of Growth for all. What weighs higher, what satisfies most, should be the criteria of a choice.
Lastly few reminders, Humans are the highest evolved living form in the entire cosmos, and all creation and growth processes of all lives highly depend on the manifestation capacity and potential unfolding of Humans But at the same time, Humans are not the ultimate authority. The government above Humans is Life. And it has the last say.
Second, we need to be giving and be deserving and be integrative and be undertaking responsibility for our own growth along with the growth of all at once. The more we bear, the more we are prepared the more we receive. And at the same time, the only ownership a man can retain is his responsibility, all rest he receives is only to give away. If man accepts this willingly and reflects accordingly, then it all becomes smooth and effortless for us. The abundance and bliss shower like limitless for us.
The last thing, we Humans can digest, our highest growth is only in our contribution to the growth of the rest. We can only enhance and have a say as far as our reach to Give reaches.
So Life is all ours. To play, to manipulate, to be used, and unfolded. Whatever we wish to do with. What would you choose?
In Love with Life
Your Co-Creator
