Who am I?
Have you ever asked this question?
Your possible answers could include describing your relationship with another.
You may be a child to your parents; life partner to your spouse; parent to your child; friend to an intimate person; employee in a work place; we can keep on adding many things to this list, like this. Is that you?
May be; but you can also describe your physical or social features; you may describe yourself as a male or female, white, black, brown or yellow;60 kgs; 5 ft 6 inches; educated or uneducated etc, etc; Is that you? May be.
Truly “Who am I?” or “who are you?”
This piece of writing is not intended to be spiritual or philosophical; yet some traces of such thoughts are unavoidable, when we think of the topic.
In the human history, time and again, many great philosophers and thinkers have tried to find an answer to this thought provoking question. Why such a question is raised here now? The purpose is to make your life richer; richer, not only in material life but also in every aspect of your earthly life.
It is my conclusion that “I” or “You” are made of three things; they are ©attitude, body and consciousness or simply ABC.© If we can take care of this ABC, then certainly we can make our life richer; richer, not only in material life but also in every aspect of your earthly life.
What is an attitude?
An attitude is a mental state involving beliefs, feelings and values. It is your way of thinking or being. Attitude determines your altitude.
Attitude may be positive or negative. Positive attitude may not always guarantee your success; but certainly negative attitude guarantees failure. Endless things can be said about attitude but I will stop here.
Your body is your address in this life; preserve it. Healthy foods and simple and regular exercises like thirty minutes of walking etc can go a long way in preserving your address (body) in this life. Don’t lose your health to earn your wealth. Remember, all your wealth cannot give back your health.
Consciousness is an alert mental state or awareness in which you are aware of yourself and everything around you. It includes knowing yourself, your significant other, your work environment, in short, everything in and around you.
“How is it possible?,” you may ask.
It is not impossible, if you keep your mind calm and free from disturbances. By practice, you can calm your mind and also can keep it free from disturbances. Meditation is one of the tools for this practice. When such practices are followed consistently and regularly, mind reaches the higher level of the universe. In an advanced level, the person will get any information from the universe, just for asking. It is like a google search. In the beginning of such practice, a person may experience attracting right circumstances and right people into his or her life.
ABC or attitude, body and consciousness are interrelated. Attitude is a non physical entity whereas body is a physical entity. Both can disappear someday. Consciousness is the ultimate reality. Sometimes this is equated to soul by some people.
As stated in the beginning, purpose of this writing is not spiritual but to make your life happier and richer. Just to help you to know yourself; to know others.
Go into any relationship looking at what you can give and not what you can receive. The more you give, the more you will be given.
This is the conclusion:” take care of ABC to be richer in every aspect of earthly life”
