Читать книгу Triumph Of Love Over Ego - Saeed Habibzadeh - Страница 12

Living is constantly growing, constantly becoming. Someone who is disinterested in spiritual growth grinds to a halt and leads a meaningless life. Unfortunately, we keep experiencing this in our partnerships, friendships and other relationships.

The eternal law of life is eternal becoming.

This law is particularly important for us human beings because we need to understand that life is a permanent process of maturation. Life is learning. If you are not prepared to learn, you will suffer. Only where we are not prepared to learn our lessons do we reap blows of fate, illness, separation and pain.

Becoming means overcoming the limitations and constraints of our consciousness, it means growing wiser and more mature. It also means gradually overcoming our own ego and becoming more selfless and loving. It is the only way for us to become ever more noble, kind and complete.

Physical death is not the only kind of death. Most of us die a little more every day, but we do not realize it. When all we do is work and work just to make ends meet, then we are no longer living but are merely surviving, meaning that although we are still alive, we no longer get any enjoyment out of life because we are forever struggling to ensure our livelihood. This is how slaves used to live in the ancient world. The only difference today is that modern-day slave drivers are invisible. If our entire life has turned into a fight to solve our problems, we reduce our quality of life day by day and our days become a process of dying rather than living. Being truly alive involves joy, growth, abundance and happiness. We can only appreciate the beauty and glory of life when we stop viewing life as a struggle for survival. Life is an immeasurable gift from God, enabling us to live in happiness, harmony, abundance and love.

Many people are longing for death. They believe that they will find salvation in death. That, however, is not the case. When we die, all that dies is our earthly body – that is literally all that happens! We slip out of our earthly, physical overcoat, which makes us invisible to the physical eyes of our fellow men. But that does not mean we are dead. Salvation and death have absolutely nothing to do with each other – they are two entirely separate concepts. We die because physical matter is transient and our time on earth comes to an end. But salvation is the gradual liberation of the soul from stored-up negativity (karma). Therefore our death does not automatically lead to our salvation.

Many people, especially young people, believe they can escape all their problems by committing suicide. In fact, the opposite is true! When we die, we take with us all our current problems and are faced with having to solve them in the other worlds. What we do not solve, we take with us. But suicide brings with it many more difficulties than an ordinary death: suicide is a form of murder and as such is inscribed in our soul as a massive negative charge. This makes the life of a soul a lot more difficult in the other worlds and I urgently advise against all thoughts of suicide or any other longing for death.

We are not in this world to die, but to learn. What we do not learn, we carry with us as unsolved problems.

If all we do is concentrate on problems without looking at solutions, we choose to live our life negatively. We also negate life if we give in to the whining of our ego and spend our days complaining that our life is not as we want it to be. Living means starting the day with joy and gratitude, and ending the day in love and harmony. When we choose a positive life, we work on ourselves and we welcome every minute of our life with joy and gratitude. We do not let our problems overwhelm us but we enjoy finding solutions for them. Choosing a positive life gives us vital energy, zest for life and true strength. If this is the way you approach your life, your life will richly reward you with health, wealth, success and happiness!
