"When is enough enough ?", that is the classic question of
humanity which is raised from a very old age. This question is asked from one
generation to another generation without any final answer. The spiritual
message is simple, the balance point where people feel enough is different from
one generation to another.
Having met a lot of spiritual friends whose body and soul are deeply
painful in meditation sessions, it is clear that all of them are very
exhausted. Not only their physical body who are tired, their mind and their
soul are even worse.
There are many reasons behind these exhausted souls. And one of the
important reason is a deep feeling that something is lacking in life. Not only
material life which make their life full of dissatisfaction, spouse, children,
neighbors and even government and society also make them feel deeply
dissatisfied.
As a result, they keep accumulating complaints over the years. Similar to
accumulating wastes, if the waste is not processed then it will become a source
of many illnesses. This is the reason why a number of people experience a very
miserable old age.
Before it actually happens in your life, it is important to train yourself
to feel enough. It can be started by feeling enough to anything that you
currently have. How simple your material life is, how humble your education is,
how complicated your family is, learn to feel enough.
One research indicating that in Western countries where economy, science,
technology and knowledge have been such advance, there are increasing number of
people who also suffer a lot. While in the underdeveloped countries people can
not eat because of poverty, in well-developed countries the increasing number
of people also can not eat.
They can not eat not because of poverty but because of fear. From the fear
of the future, the fear of death, the fear that they do not get enough
appreciation, as well as other fears. The significant increase in healthcare
budget in well-developed countries is one of the important evident.
All of this is like a spiritual alarm to people on earth, learn to train
yourself to feel enough, learn to develop gratitude in life. Gratitude does not
only make life cool inside, gratitude is also a short bridge to spiritual
connection.
A world-class football player once shared his own story like this:
"when I was a small child I cried for days because my mother said there
was no enough money to buy me shoes. I stopped crying when I saw there was
another child who had no feet".
The main reason why people are very difficult to feel enough, because they
keep comparing their life with those who are higher. To all spiritual friends
who want to be healed and whole, it is worthy to look at the people who have
lower life. Down below there are many people who are still struggling with
their life. By learning from them, there is a sense of sufficiency, gratitude
easily arise within. And most importantly, this is a wonderful way to plant the
seeds of healing within.
