The Right to Be Rich (Part 8)
There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three–body, mind, or soul–can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul.
Body, Mind and Soul – These are the three things that we live for. And all three of them need to be expressed fully.
1. Body – We need proper nourishment to keep our bodies working properly internally. We also need proper exercise to make sure our bodies are healthy as well.
But we also use our bodies to produce value for others.
Physically, we use our hands to create things. We use our mouths to communicate ideas that produce value.
This is just a very small list of things that we use our body for and why it needs full expression.
2. Mind - We need to keep our minds sharp. Our minds are what create our desires and then it is also used to formulate the plan we use to achieve our desires.
We need books to expose ourselves to “new” information. When we expose ourselves to “new” information, we start to make connections between what we already know and outside possibilities.
Without the resources necessary to expose ourselves to this knowledge, we deny ourselves fuller expression of the mind.
3. Soul – It has been said that we are a “spiritual being having a human experience.” It is also my belief that my soul will live on past my physical body.
This where we need to exercise spiritual awareness. That there is something bigger than us, that has created all of this.
There are many ways to bring about fuller expression of your soul and this is completely up to you.
* A word of caution here: One of the things that gets a lot of us in trouble here comes when we judge others way of dealing with their spiritual development.
According to teaching I have exposed myself to, nothing is good or bad. It is our reaction to a situation that causes an appearance of good or bad.
One of the examples that I like is the example of the lady who is on her way to a meeting when she gets a flat tire making here late for the meeting.
She is upset because this is an important meeting. She calls the roadside service to help her with the tire. And the come and change it.
When she gets to the place where her meeting is at she notices the area roped off and emergency crews working at the scene.
Her first reaction to the flat tire was despair and upset. (Bad) She was going to be late for her important meeting.
For the tow truck driver it was a paid job and he could us the income to help with his daughters education. (Good)
When she got to the location of her meeting she found out that there was an explosion in the restaurant below that killed several members of the people she was meeting with. If she was on time she would have been involved. (Relief and Gratitude)
This is an extreme example but one that gives several views of the same situation. It is our reaction to a situation that causes something to be good or bad.
And we have control over our reaction!
