Identify the difference between Being and existence

Identify the difference between Being and existence

Parents always teach children not to tell lies, to behave properly, to give respect to others and to focus attention on their studies.  It is quite a natural phenomenon. So, when a mother comes to know that her son is telling lies, she was speechless, but for a while, forgot what to do or what not to do.  She started cursing herself that there must be something wrong in her upbringing.  Then she took the boy aside and started cautioning him the consequence of telling lies.  She said that if you continue to tell lies, one day, a monster with huge eyes and a horn on his head would appear in your sleep, and then he would lift you to punish without hearing any word from you.  She finally assuaged him that hereafter, I am sure, you won’t tell lies.  The son replied with all his politeness that he will not tell lies anymore but with a simpering he informed, “I feel you are a bigger liar than me because you tell lies most of the time.”

Now, the question comes why people tell lies? What achievement do they get by telling lies?  Do you not understand the ground reality that by telling lies and suppressing the truth, you are causing more stresses on your mind because anytime there is a chance, you might be caught?  Despite knowing that there is no significant benefit except some momentary gain, you cannot expect a big success in your life by falsifying your existence.  Moreover, many wrong doings, false utterances, and lies will make you a non-reliable person to the eyes of everybody, which may even include your family members and children.  Because of continuously lying, one fills his mind with the thoughts of unnecessary worries, anxieties, and unwanted tension. Ultimately, this act restricts your spontaneity and also blocks your creativity.  Once you lose your creativity, your progress in life in all fronts become slow.

People always wish to increase their knowledge. There is a difference between knowledge and the Being in the East.  Here people give more weight on Being. Of course, both knowledge and Being are equally important. Once you allow the transformation of knowledge into Being, then knowledge will be considered as mere information.  So, both these things are needed together for the purpose of transformation. You can easily identify the knowledge level of a particular person on a defined subject, but a few people understand the subtlety of Being, which is your presence and that your presence might be a good, transparent, encouraging and inspiring entity.  One should not mix the existence and the Being. The building exists, the human beings exist, the tree exists, but they all have their existence distantly visible. For example, Being a man, tree, building, and the Divine, we have to identify all these at different levels.  Being always evolves from the origin, but existence starts from birth.  Take the case of Being of an animal.  All animals have existence from birth.  A dog, a cow, an elephant, a cat or a horse though have existence, but their Being is not from their birth. It is from the conception.

To understand this postulate you need to introspect, and study this subject in details, which is mostly related to the spirituality of the mind.  Being is an evolving subject, an evolving present. It is applicable for everybody. If a person is getting hurt because of inflicts inflicted on him either by his family members or his friends, it only shows the maturity level of the other person.  But if the person who is hurt forgives the other person even after hearing all odd words, it shows the higher level of the person, who has shown the forgiveness.  If you are selfish, it shows your Being at a certain level below than the desired level of ideal living. Similarly, if you always urge to serve others and help them in their distress, you will be classified altogether in a different level of Being.  If you are compassionate and show love and kindness to others, you will fall in the much higher level of Being.

Being is merely not a matter of judgment but a matter of clear understanding, which ultimately leads to the growth and the spiritual progression in life.  How can you work on your Being?  Or how can you improve your Being?  This topic is very wide and so easy deliberation, and comprehension will be not that easy.  But questioning others about the vital statistics of life’s perspective and how to increase the same and finally, how the same will be helpful for others human beings, will provide you some clues of your Being.  Then, if you closely analyze and follow the life path of great sages and religious people, you will have more clarity.  With this clarity, you must transform and support the process of transformation in your daily life.  You have to target to reach higher dimension or higher Being so that you may plan for high achievement in life, and get the fervor of spiritual bliss.
