I often hear the statement “I know about me or I know what I am.” To me this sounds weird as I think knowing oneself is the end of all the miseries. If we peep a little deeper and ask any one what he knows about himself, straight comes the answer: I am so & so, I know this, I can do that and so on & so forth………..a series of I.
But do we really know what we are? The sad part is we know nothing about ourselves. What we really know is a ‘droplet and what we do not know is an ocean of ignorance.’ Our reality is based on the perceptions we have about ourselves, others and the world and reality is not the perception.
If we deeply analyze and ask the question what am I ? We find it difficult to get the complete answer. Do we really know what our bodies are made of and do we know what our body likes and body doesn’t like. If we have watched our body’s behaviour and its response to situations and to what we eat then we will be amazed to find out that our body speaks to ourselves in many ways and invariably we do not understand.
Take a simple matter- Many of the health problems from simple cold to real complications are the result of our negligence to understand our own body by us. If we catch cold people blame it to the cold weather or getting drenched etc., but the interesting part is that prior to getting a cold attack we definitely must have had a severe stressful condition that has put our immune system out of gear and the result is the cold caught us. Like this for any health problem or any problems of today there definitely an emotional factor that affects the ability of our immune system which is also called the nervous system in motion.
People who understand this never gets health problem. One proven fact is that women of reproductive age gets frequent cold or infections just before or during periods or during pregnancy during which the immune/ resistance status is suppressed other wise the bay which is also a infection crudely speaking or a foreign organism cannot survive to complete the pregnancy to come out in to this world.
Like this when we eat some foods we feel awful, literally screwed up in mind and body. The body is confiding to us that buddy, you are a stupid skunk, you think that I can tolerate all the atrocities that u do to me, better understand I have my own way of expressing my retaliation and without knowing this, we rush to the doctor making a big story and get a prescription of cure to torture the body again by the indulgence in activities that disrupt the harmony of health and happiness.
If the so called “I know about me personality” had some sense to listen to his body’s talk then probably he would have understood that he is hurting himself and will definitely can avoid the misery. A clear example is the “diabetics or the obese”. Both repeatedly indulge in activities in which they have a severe guilty consciousness. They think that this once- in- a- way heavy gastronomic exploration is just once- in- a- way and this once in a way becomes every day affair that goes on and on with the suffering remaining. Any activity that creates guilty feeling results in creating a negative mental state that aggravates the disease or problem outcome
Why do we do this? We do this because our because our desires conquer the will and we fail to perceive and understand our body’s communications, whispers or cues causing the mind –body communication failure, due to the inability or the apathy of the so called ‘I Know’ guy to knowing what he should know.
Look at animals, they invariably do not touch things that harm them or have the uncanny ability to know the good and the evil. When the humans evolved they have been deprived of the ability to differentiate what is right and what is wrong and that is the cause for most of the problems in life. We grew in push-button technology but we pushed away the nature’s gifted science to differentiate the good and the evil.
If we know that our mind is the inner guide that does what should be good for us then life is healthy and otherwise it makes everything a misery.
Listen, listen, and listen to our inner self and we can be free from many problems and life can be healthy and wonderful.
