What do we mean by “body consciousness”? It means perceiving self as mortal body, forgetting self as the immortal divine entity and identifying self with physical appearance, age, status, position and wealth, attracts no of vices in the life. Example when I feel I am a young, good looking, and wealthy businessman I feel big of myself, this sense of feeling can make me self-satisfied, self-righteous and over confident, which is not good for me and other. Similarly at old age if I start thinking myself as old, weak and pauper, I will be depressed, sad, unhappy and disheartened. Body consciousness is sole cause of mistakes in life as it germinates ego, greediness, anger and lust in one’s life.
Each and every religion book has mentioned about the soul, its eternity, divinity and purity . Hardly have we tried to understand and to realize this metaphysical energy, which is acting as driving force of our life. The metaphysical part of life, mind, intellect and consciousness, which are subtle and incorporeal, cannot be created or it can be destroyed but with time they pass though different stages from pure to impure, from simple to complex, from energetic to weak or can be in reverse direction. Self realization, understanding of the life force can save us from misdemeanor. This is essential at present time to save civilization from psychological crisis.
We all individual is a wonderful divine point of light residing in the forehead in between two eyes. As the driver controls the car sitting on the seat, similarly consciousness is controlling the each and every activity of the body sitting at the center of forehead of human body. We should understand that we are the actors playing our role in this world drama carrying the mortal coil,the physical body. And through deep introspection and analysis we can identify peace, purity, love, power, happiness and knowledge are our true nature. But due to body consciousness, we are far from our essence to adopt impurity and negativity. Realiasing self as eternal metaphysical entity the soul and its structure and nature can limit pain and problems in our life, but we have to play our role in this world drama.True perception about self and for others as an eternal, immortal spiritual energy will elevate our role and duties. We should regain our self respect our original nature of purity then peace and prosperity will follow automatically.
