A Life Choice
by Atman Nityananda
Every day, we are one step closer to death (of the body), even though it can come at any moment.
However, it is our choice whether we move each day toward the light or the darkness.
We can choose a life oriented toward light, truth, love, and harmony, or a life oriented toward earthly pleasures and achievements.
By choosing the light, we will free ourselves from the illusions of ‘ego’ and ‘mine’ and achieve conscious union with our Divine nature. This union brings a life of fulfillment, peace, bliss, and unity with all beings and all things.
By choosing to surrender to the mechanical nature of daily life and satisfy the desires of our lower ego, we choose illusion, disharmony, misery, pain, and suffering.
Whatever we sow today, we will reap tomorrow.
Therefore, there is no reason to blame anyone for what we experience today or will experience in the future.
The causes lie within us, and it is there we must look to find the way out of dead ends, misery, and suffering.
The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
