Life is so precious, and so is time. These two are so linked, like breathing in and out. You never think about breathing, that is, until you can’t. At that time, there will be nothing as important in your life as breathing.
When you have your life (breath, health) and time (freedom) taken away from you, then also, you can’t think of anything else other than being healthy and being free to do whatever you want whenever you want. There is nothing as precious as freedom and health and nothing missed as much when either that freedom or health is taken away from you.
Yet I look around me and I see few people with a state of mind that allows them to be truly free to enjoy life. Everyone seems totally bogged down with worry, stress, anxiety or have something in their life that is crippling them and weighing them down which takes away their ability to enjoy life as it should be enjoyed. From President, Prime Minister to cleaner, all have both feet firmly stuck in the bog of a troubled mind which will never allow them to move forward in life.
Each milieu and bog is unique but they all have one aspect very much in common and which is ruining their lives, and that is, they are all caught in the powerful trap of body-consciousness to which all are destined to increasingly succumb and drown. It is only God who can give them the wisdom and strength to pull themselves clear of that quicksand and give them the state of mind, capable of fully enjoying life to the full.
Health is really in your hands which enables you to pick up happiness and if you don’t have good health, then you have no hands to be able to pick up that happiness. If you’ve poor health, then you’ve crippled and arthritic hands with which to pick up happiness which is never going to be easy or enjoyable and in most cases, impossible. Most people, of course, want happiness and see glimpses of it throughout the day, yet if they have the deformed hands of bad karma that cripples and restricts them, they are never going to be able or worthy to pick up happiness; such is their karma.
Momentary happiness is the only happiness of today which people understand and experience and aim for, in their lives
Some have good hands, but bad legs that stop them bending down (making effort and experiencing happiness) to pick up the happiness they desire, or some have good hands and good legs, yet are disabled with depression, and some have good hands, legs and a happy disposition, but have money, family or some other unseen problem that stops them from grasping that illusive happiness. Most are too disabled to be happy and they have not got the remedy or pill to heal the self. Of course, God can heal all those, who are in his waiting room (centre).
Our freedom today comes at a cost, whereby we have to live by laws – both spiritual and physical. One need not follow or obey those laws, but then one has to suffer the consequences of not comply-ing with those laws. By not following and disregarding spiritual laws eventually leads to suffering in both your body and mind, whereas not following physical laws and breaking them could lead to imprisonment, and yes, suffering – then your disregard for ‘freedom’ would have turned into ‘a painful event’. We can pay for our disobedience in many different ways, be it backache, headache, tooth-ache, heartache, amputation, heart attack, missile attack, war, starvation, insomnia, depression, discontentment, arguments, stress, blood pressure, to the glass in your foot to having no feet at all.
All is karma, all is the suffering from thinking and doing wrong, from originally going against spiritual laws. Now a distant relative of spiritual laws is physical laws, which manifested and came into being to assist and bolster up the long forgotten spiritual laws. So, this distant relation today helps its great ancestor complete its duty and carry out its punishment and comes to hit us, and seldom comes to stroke us.
Six billion people and only two hands are needed
There are two hands of karma, one that causes pain, and its other hidden hand, which gives peace, love, happiness and comfort. These hands are both 100% accurate, work on autopilot, and is the supreme arm of the law that cannot be argued with – for who could argue with the law of ‘cause and effect’, except a simpleton.
