Keys to Successful
Living
Everyone
wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have
to go out and search for those keys, or do we have potentials already within
ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into
two aspects – life within and life without; internal life and external life –
and we can see that these aspects are 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 perform our practices on time. So life in
the external world is as important as life in the 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 body, breath, senses,
and mind all function together as a unit.
