Life is sacred and holy because it is of Divine
origin.
Whereas in a place of worship people naturally tend to
pay respect to particular objects, words, gestures, persons that are viewed as
sacred, holy or in some other way connected to God, in every day life (in a
Western society at least) hardly anyone is aware oft the residing Divinity in
all forms and aspects of life. However, by disregarding the Divine aspect of every
moment of life that, which is endowing existence with a true meaning is being
neglected. To the effect, that happiness, love, enthusiasm, freedom, joy, peace etc.
are becoming elusive feelings that have to be chased after, longed for and held
on to it once grasped for an instant. Whereas is you are living in the on-going
awareness of the Divine aspect of life these qualities are coming to you
naturally and are becoming part of your state of being. Being aware oft he
Divine nature of things, beings, and instances makes you care for them lovingly.
True caring encompasses respect and if a living being is concerned also
compassion.
You can teach yourself to become more aware of the
Divine part of all life by learning to care for things, beings, moments of
life. And because reality starts with your own self this begins with yourself.
So pay care of your physical appearance (cleanliness and tidiness, not vanity), your words, thoughts and actions, your
home, your personal belongings, the handling of the food and drink you are
partaking of, your family, neighbours etc. And by caring is meant according to
the part of life in question to be respectful, tidy, clean, upright, honest,
mindful, friendly etc.
