Lost in muchness and manyness?

You would agree with me that we spend a lot of time working, talking on the phone, driving, multitasking and in the process stressed ourselves out. The strong obsession to acquire more, achieve more in a short turnaround time is overwhelming and sometimes frustrating. In contemporary society our adversary (the evil one) majors in three things: noise, hurry, and crowds. We are lost in ‘muchness’ and manyness’.Psychiatrist C G Jung once remarked, 'Hurry is not of the devil; it is the devil’. It is like the taximeters implanted in our brains. We hear the relentless tick rocking telling us to hurry, hurry, time is money. . . resulting in this roaring blur called the human race.

Japanese proverb says, “Even if you sleep in a thousand-mat room, you can only sleep on one mat”

In the pursuit to achieve more we have lost the real connection with one another and have been reprogrammed into a sophisticated machine. All the hurriedness and busyness is ironically forcing us to live an sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating finally puts our lives at risk.  In the bargain we lose our resources, our peace and the joy of living.  Check this link,  Juliet Funt from 'whitespace' gives a professional lesson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXpeGspTq64

You are not a machine, you are created by God. The creator knows that you need to make a living and therefore has already stored up resources from above while you came into existence. Unfortunately, people tend to lose it in the pursuit of gaining more by fair or unfair means. The famous quote in Hindi language in India goes like this, “daane daane pe likha hai khane wala ka naam” which when translated in English means 'on every grain is written the person who will eat'. We have our portion assigned already. Let’s not panic in the fear of tomorrows robbing the 'enough' of today. 

The greatest achievement is not the accumulation of wealth to take care of us after ten years. Sometimes three meals a day and meeting of basic needs in itself can give peaceful sleep and contentment. Let's keep in mind millions are still going to bed hungry around the world.  Enhance the quality of life by prioritizing. Ensure God is the core in all the matters of life - be it your personal, family or work.  Check this amazing video
