Marvels within and without

There are a zillion of a variety of things around us.  The trees blossom to bear flowers and fruits, while the animal kingdom is not far behind with its own varieties of species that in substance adds a zing to the flora and fauna.  Rivers flow into the oceans merging to make infinite waters, seen by many in the form of waves, ripples, and bubbles.  The outside world is indeed a marvel.

There are a trillion cells inside this human body.  A million of them die and are immediately replaced by new cells.  Many systems are at play inside the body and coordinate their activities to keep this body in good shape.  Even the act of inhalation and exhalation happens on its own and should be deemed as the first wonder of this world.  Everything inside the body happen on their own when we are in the pink of health, and even when we fall sick the repair work is mostly happening internally with some medicines to help.  The inside world is a marvel.

As a human, neither do we contribute to the beauty of the outside world nor do we partake in the many activities inside our body, but we influence through our behaviour the environment around and our many habits in the body upkeep.  Our habits that direct our behaviour is the product of our mind’s thoughts, perceptions, viewpoints, and interpretations combined with analysis and decision-making.

By sheer will to positively contribute to the society it gets translated through positive intent, thoughts, actions driving the results.  We need that positivity to create positiveness.

But the entire body including the mind is an inert entity.  When we have a clear understanding that what powers it is the ‘Consciousness’ or ‘Chaitanya’ within each one of us, we become aware that it is a higher power that is responsible for everything.  It is ignorance that propels us to feel that we are responsible for everything around and within.  

Tatvamasi – You are That, in essence is what each one of us are, which should humble and destroy our ignorance, giving us clarity of our true nature.  A little introspection clearly indicates that we are living in the game of the divine play, in the truest sense - neither a doer nor an enjoyer.
