Human and Space

Once a certain maturity is attained, human pursuits, efforts, meaning-making, evaluations, experiences, and mental activities are not independent of space.

Thus, there exists an existential relationship between humans and space. The nature of this relationship is sometimes too perplexing for the external world to comprehend. Much like time, understanding space is a complex, mind-bending subject.

Within the flow of life, the essential aim is for humans to demonstrate sincere devotion to the bond they form with space. For this bond is spiritual. Though invisible, it underscores the perseverance of both humans and space, as well as their invisible power.

In terms of deepening and dedication, what humans contribute to space profoundly impacts their sense of belonging and identity. What matters is living with an authentic awareness of this influence and being able to articulate it.

Certain spaces, like humans, possess depth. Both human and space gain value in proportion to their depth.

Here, depth is akin to gold -a value arising from the depths (the soul).

Depth is universal. It knows no borders. It has no race, colour, or nationality. It holds the same worth across the world. Those with depth have discovered their soul. They are at peace with their essence. Their hearts are pure, their words free of contradiction, their minds clear, their thoughts lucid, their efforts original and altruistic. Having shed their shell (ego), their sole purpose is to enlighten themselves and others.

For those endowed with depth, enlightenment is a mental journey focused more on the soul than the body. It is a transition from a selfish self to an altruistic self, from a sense of separation to unity with all things, from judgment to appreciation, and from fear to love. Those who have peeled away their outer layers do not engage in trivial disputes. Hence, they are often either misunderstood or not understood at all by superficial people who identify solely with the shell (the body).

Remain cheerful and serene in the coolness of your heart.
