We Are One Body Of Humanity

Hindu scriptures are replete with metaphors, containing deeper philosophical truths. The Vedas, and the Upanishads, are written in a coded or symbolic language. Jesus taught using parables. He knew that people often learn best when they are able to move from what is familiar to what is unfamiliar. The Buddha’s skill in teaching the Dharma, demonstrated in his ability to speak in parables, metaphors, and similes. We are One. One Body of Humanity.

Transcript

Welcome to active meditation.

We are one.

We have a body made up of many differing parts.

Yet they all operate in harmony,

Serve the needs of the whole body.

As in,

The feet walk for the whole body.

The heart beats for the whole body.

Our blood nourishes the whole body.

There is a collective purpose that each part serves,

And also a collective and intelligent life force that animates each part.

While each part has its specialized function and appears differently to one another,

There is also cooperation and harmony among them.

It would be pointless for the left hand to attack the right hand,

Or the elbow to be jealous of the eye because it can't see.

Each part is valuable for the usefulness it serves.

We,

As individuals,

Need to have all parts of our body in good condition and working together to serve our agenda.

To walk gracefully,

To serve all our needs,

To be obedient to our intentions,

To be helpful to our friends and family,

And productive in our careers.

Just as we want to preserve all parts of our body in good health and function,

So also there is a proper role for each individual to serve the greater purpose for the human race.

United,

We help one another and serve the greater design for the human race to reveal the benevolent intelligence and serve as its stewards.

Sometimes friction and dissent can occur among the parts,

And we feel the urge to rebel.

When we fail to support one another,

Our collective health and harmony suffer.

There is no place for animosity,

Jealousy,

Or destruction in these activities.

These are times when we need to remember the greater life,

The greater intelligence that sustains and supports all of us.

It calls us into a mindfulness of our design for harmony with all the other parts.

We need them as they indirectly need our contribution.

Let peace and harmony prevail.

Let us seek compassion for one another and cooperation in our relationships.

Let us sense the call of the greater life that seeks to draw us into its greater design and work.

Let us be enfolded by its presence and power.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life,

Our life into a greater life.

Let us pour our light into a greater life.

Let us ponder on this.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.

Let us all take our place in the design of this greater life.
