“Feel ecstatic that there is no end to life. When you have reached the top of one peak, suddenly another peak starts giving you challenges, a higher one, a more arduous climb, a more dangerous reach! The day you have reached that other peak, another emerges, it is peaks upon peaks… an eternal Himalayas of life.” ~Osho
Every single one of us lives in some type of box. There’s the one with the physical walls that take the shape of your room, house, mansion or hut. Then there’s your metaphysical box, which holds some form of limiting beliefs and attitudes deeply impressed upon your consciousness. It makes you think, “I can do this, and I definitely cannot do that.” Whatever the formation the walls of your personal box have taken, don’t judge it. Every single problem or limiting belief is there for a very special reason. They are personally designed (by you) to give your mind the illusion of confinement or a false sense of security. This way you will develop a deeper longing and desire to explore this vast infinite Universe that is constantly expanding within you and all around you.
There are quite a few people in this world who tend to always remain inside their homes hypnotized by the TV their entire lives. They fear going outside in Nature, facing the elements and experiencing the world directly. Depending on the day, they either love it or complain about it. Their sacred box has become their cozy nest on a lazy afternoon, and their personal prison on some sleepless night. People tend to either complain or brag about their box, have ready-made excuses for why they can’t alter it, or simply ignore it and pretend they have no power over it. Notice which category you tend to fall into?
With 7 billion people on this planet, you cannot help to find each one of them fascinating. There are those people who love their box, hate their box, are never satisfied with the size of their box, or continuously fretting about the cleanliness and organization of it. There are those who feel overwhelmed about their box because its either to big or too small, too tall or just too narrow. Whatever the size and condition your box is in, its safe to say that it is quite perfect for you. Yes, our Universe is brilliant and it never ever never makes a mistake! There is always perfect order found within the seeming random chaos. Life is always working for you, not against you. If you watch closely, you’ll notice your consciousness is always moving towards your enlightenment and never in the other direction.
