LIFE HAS MANY DIMENSIONS !!
Most of us suffer in life because we look at life in compartments in your house, you have many rooms and you only focus on one room and keep it spic and span and neglect all other rooms. You will then find that the filth in other rooms will invade the room which you kept clean. The effort to be comfortable will result in discomfort, because you have not looked at your home holistically. Likewise. Life has many compartments, and if we focus on only one aspect of life, say the work front or the family front, and neglect other compartments of life- like our intimate zones, social zones- than one will find that the dirt and cobwebs in other zones will start invading and contaminating the zones which one has kept clean.
When people say, " I am unhappy in spite of being successful", I probe and look into why is it that in spite of success they are unhappy, and invariably guide them into the important zones of everyone"s life: the Intimate Zone, the Family Zone, the Work Zone, the Social Zone and the Spiritual Zone.
Only if one works in all these zones, one"s life will be happy and one"s success will be meaningful.
The "intimate zone" refers to something that is private to you. You are a unique individual in your own way. Every unique individual has his own call and has to fulfil the call. A housewife may have the talent and want to be a painter, but she is too busy being a housewife and does not fulfil the call in her to be a painter, then in spite of being a successful housewife, she is an unsuccessful individual. This internal conflict creates friction, which leads to unhappiness. With unhappiness in life the body also gets diseased, since when "ease" is disturbed you are prone to disease. Many of our diseases result from our inner conflicts. Therefore, learn to appreciate that you are unique individual, and fulfil your call.
In your "family zone", work on fulfilling the needs and demands of the family. There is also your work zone. Try to be creative in your work zone. If you are not creative in your work zone, again the lack of fulfilment creates inner tension. The tension from the mind spills over to the body, and you will be unhappy and unwell.
Then there is the "social zone". No man is an island. We are all interdependent individuals. Since we are inter-dependent, helping others is helping yourself. Hurting others is hurting yourself. I find it always strikes a chord in my listeners when I say, "Hey! Helping others is helping yourself." Thus when you understand society as a whole, then you start working on the social zone. Then you look how to beautify society in the process.
Every one of us has a spiritual seeker within. A person may be an atheist or theist, it does not matter. Spiritual means how to heighten your spirit. Abrahaman Maslow"s "Hierarchy of Needs" postulates that there is an "Actualisatioin" need. There is a call in us for the infinite, but we are so deaf that we don"t listen to the call of the infinite, the call of the good, the call of the divine. If our mind is lost in petty calls, we don"t listen to the call of the infinite. That call of the infinite, the call of the good, the call of the divine exists in each one of us and it is the "spiritual zone".
So, like a good housewife who looks to all aspects in making the home comfortable, and works on all the rooms in the house, in the same way life should also be lived in a multi-dimensional way. When you work on all the zones, then a certain well-being is born. That will-being will make your life comfortable. When you become comfortable within, the comfort of the mind spills over to the body, the body will also be comfortable. This comfort makes us live at peace with what is. If one can learn the art of being at peace with what is, then life will be a poetry; for most of us life is a prose.
If your heart has poetry, read prose and the prose will become a poetry. But if the heart has only prose, even when you read poetry, it will become prose. Life becomes poetry if you have learnt the art of being at peace with what is. Therefore, treat life holistically, life is multidimensional.
