For many years, I was doing my work without understanding the true self. I was progressing in life, but speed was slow due to many problems. The first problem was, assuming myself as a body. Means my body is me. Most people think like this.
The question is, how this type of knowledge was a problem?
This was a problem because whenever I did not achieve a target, I got furious and punished my body. My body did not achieve this target because of lack of understanding, will power, discipline, motivation and many more things. In short, I used to blame myself for underachievement.
This changed when I started understanding my true self. In a true sense, I am the source of my body. In fact, everyone is the source of their body. The source of the body is formless, limitless and infinite.
For example: Our body is like ice. And the source of the ice is water. Once we understand that we are the body source, then most of the fears go away. The source is infinite, limitless and formless.
Most of us have a fear of death because they think their body is themself. The point here is we have to understand ourselves from inside or spiritually.
To have the self-knowledge, we have to focus on four areas constantly:
1. Physical Body
2. Mind
3. Who am I in reality?
4. How to get anything in the universe.
Understanding our body is very important to keep it healthy and fit. Therefore we have to have the right understanding of what to eat when to eat. What nutrition is required, how much physical exercise is required.
Our mind is the playground of our thoughts. So, we have to learn to control our thoughts; otherwise, our thoughts will control our life. My thoughts were often controlling my life because actions happen according to the type of thoughts generate in mind.
Understanding "Who am I" is essential; otherwise, we will not move in the right direction in life. Many people pass their lives without understanding their true self and regret even after they have achieved all the material things they require.
We have to have the required principle to lead a great life. For this, get the knowledge to make life smooth. The fact is, most people focus on this area and forget the above three.
Before understanding myself, I was scared of failure, losing things, to take any action and scared of following my passion.
Therefore it becomes critical to understand self and achieve your dreams, utilizing full potential, lead a great life with joy.
What can you do to understand yourself?
1. Always keep learning. Do not ever stop learning.
2. Learn to understand the truth in every area of life.
Benefits of understanding true self:
1. You will not fear to take a new path in life. 2. You will believe in yourself. 3. You will not fear to take the risk in life. 4. You will control your life instead of surrounding controls you.
