Key to successful Living part 1

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 we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into aspects –Life within and life without the; 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 life in the wilderness doing nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we do our ablutions and perform our practices on time. So life in 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 bodies, breathe, sense, and mind all function together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationship within on oneself.
