28. FROM ‘HUMAN DOINGS’ TO ‘HUMAN BEINGS’
We are human beings who have become 'human doings'. What does this mean? We have lost our state of 'being' because we are constantly 'doing' things. We have become prisoners of the ME, the Mind and the Ego that drives us to constant action and we lose the Consciousness of 'being' in the bargain.
If we want to live a life of Peace and Joy, we have to stop this constant 'doing' and gain the state of 'being' conscious of who we are and why we are here. We have lost Consciousness of the Truth and we have become mere machines that operate from birth to death. The Truth known to us through our intellect doesn't dominate our life because we so busy 'doing' things. We must learn to live as ‘human beings’ and not as ‘human doings’. We must become conscious of the Consciousness that we are. We must not live as slaves of the ego and mind that make us ‘human doings’.
It is not enough for us to know the Truth. The Truth must bear witness in our deeds of endeavour, as we march forward each day of our life. Without the blessing of Consciousness, the gift of being human, the most intelligent species will turn out to be a complete waste as we take our God-given intellect and our God-inspired Consciousness to our grave. Let us stop living as ‘human doings’ and start ‘being human’.
