When you focus on extreme situations and find it meaningful, you start asking why. This question sometimes takes you away from the meaning of it. .I was a personal assistant to an Austrian couple once. I was helping with their errands, helping with their remodeling, dusting, and polishing. I was also ironing their clothes and shirts. He was a pilot. After I quit that job, we lost contact and when I decided to fly to California; I was quite surprised to realize that he was the pilot of the plane I was getting into. I sent a note to the cock-pit. He was very kind to invite me over to drink champagne and chocolate. I remember asking the question while I was ironing his pilot uniforms. Why am I ironing those? I dont really know how to iron, but Ill do my best. They really appreciated my amateur work. When I got into the plane and saw the captain pilot; my question was answered. And I felt embarrassed to have asked the reason.
Sometimes you just need to accept everything the way they are without questioning. Because they are already perfect and they already have their reasons. Its important to be able to remember the connection, the divine miraculous connection of everybody, everything happening in your lives. Those events are just reminders of one big truth. And that truth will make you feel really free. You are not trapped into your isolation or your Why s, What if or I wish Ive had s.
You feel free because you know that every single thing which happens connects something else, completes a puzzle, and it may take moments or years to figure that out. To tap into that kind of knowing will give you a sense of strength also. You wont feel alone at any moment in your life anymore. The ironic thing is; I learned this reality during the time when I needed isolation, solititude. You just need to accept the fact that everything which has happened, happening and will happen are meant to be. If you can be able to detach yourself and enjoy every experience by being absorbed in it and understanding, you have conquered the meaning of life. The important points of your life will exist if you try hard or not. Only if you resist to reality, try to go to different directions; youll feel stressed out, resented or angry. When you stop resisting, youll see that things will sort of flow with harmony. Even the negative things will eventually be resolved in order to help really positive events. Thats why we need to leave the void empty in order to be receptive to those meaningful results of many different negative events. If we try to fill the void with substances, material things or people, success, fame or wealth; we cannot see clearly what is happening which wont change the outcome but the real meaning of our existence becomes more valuable if we can actually understand and accept them.
B.C. Aristotle believed that the Earth is the center of the universe. Is this really true? Some people think that they are the center of the universe, because they can not or do not want to see the big picture. If you go to Africa; youll see that the land doesnt really belong to humans at all. In the wilderness of everything you can see that all beings in the universe keeps changing the roles to be the center none of them permanently or forever the center of the universe. So is the earth. One day everything here on earth will cease to exist including the world. It will exist in different forms, but it will definitely not be the center of the universe. In the big picture the only thing which doesnt change is its wholeness and its continuum. That makes it so wonderful, fascinating and overwhelming. If we cut a peach into two pieces; we see a seed which is the center. Is that center the main thing? The answer is no. actually the center just hold things together so it is an important element but not the main thing. Whats the main ingredient if we accept that the earth is the center of the universe? Then we can see clearly that the earth and all the beings on it are there to hold everything together.
