Life and Death
By mati. Filed in Life |Tags: gratefulness, Life
Life and death are just natural cycles. In our dimension, life expresses itself through form, but because form is temporary (it eventually breaks down and becomes uninhabitable), the form has to change from time to time.
To the mind, life and death looks like two sides of duality, even though they both complement each other, and both are needed. Because we are here to transcend duality, it is important not to choose only one side. Anytime we choose one side of duality, we become imbalanced and dysfunctional. Therefore, we must accept that both are needed. We must realize that life goes on, beyond the form, we must be grateful for the time we get to spend in the form and all the experiences we get to have before we move on, and we must never ask for more time than what we are given.
If we can do this, change will no longer destroy us, even if the change may be undesirable. Acceptance and surrender to what is, is the key to resilience, and gratefulness heals all the scars that we pick up on the way.
