🌌 Chetasyog Explains: Control, Choice, and Response Between Life-Is and Self-Me.
Have you ever wondered why life sometimes feels like a storm 🌩️ and other times like a gentle breeze 🌬️? Why do some people seem to handle life’s challenges with calmness, while others get trapped in cycles of fear, anger, or frustration 😟?
According to Chetasyog, the answer lies in understanding the deep connection between two essential parts of our existence:
1. Being-Life Cosmic Consciousness (Life-Is) 🌌
2. Being-Self Individual Existence (Self-Me) 👤
Let’s take a simple journey to understand this profound concept with easy analogies, relatable examples, and simple steps you can apply every day to live more mindfully, freely, and joyfully 🌿.
🔄 What is Life-Is?
Think of Life-Is as the great cosmic force that governs everything in the universe.
It is like an immense, invisible river 🌊, flowing steadily, following universal laws of cause and effect ⚖️.
Every event, situation, and challenge that happens in your life is part of Life-Is.
For example:
A sudden rainstorm 🌧️ that makes you late for work.
A chance encounter with a friend who brightens your day ☀️.
A problem at your workplace that causes stress 😣.
All of these are neither good nor bad by themselves.
They are simply causes and consequences naturally arising from the flow of Life-Is.
🔔 Key Point:
- Life-Is does not judge you. It doesn’t say, “You should be happy” or “You must avoid difficulties.”
- It simply flows according to cosmic laws ⏳, producing causes and consequences.
🎭 What About Self-Me?
This is where the magic happens.
While Life-Is controls the what of life – the causes and consequences – Self-Me gets to decide how to react to these events 🎯.
Think of Self-Me as a small boat ⛵ in the vast ocean of Life-Is 🌊.
The ocean’s waves represent the powerful forces of Life-Is: storms, calm periods, sudden waves, and high tides.
👉 The boat doesn’t control the ocean, but it has the power to adjust its sails and direction.
The Two Ways Self-Me Can React:
1️⃣ Habitual Reaction 😡😨💸
Most of us automatically react from conditioned mindset patterns:
- Fear 😨 when things go wrong.
- Anger 😡 when others don’t behave as expected.
- Desire 💸 to get what we want at any cost.
These automatic reactions trap us in repetitive cycles of suffering 🔄.
👉 Example:
- Imagine someone cuts in front of you in traffic 🚗.
- Your automatic reaction might be anger, leading you to shout or honk aggressively 😠.
2️⃣ Mindful Response 🧘♂️👁️💭
Self-Me has the freedom to pause, observe, and respond consciously:
- Breathe deeply 🌬️.
- Observe without judgment 👁️.
- Reflect calmly 💭.
- Act wisely in harmony with the natural flow of Life-Is ✨.
👉 Example:
- When someone cuts in front of you in traffic 🚗, instead of reacting in anger, you calmly think:
- “It’s part of Life-Is causing this moment. I will stay calm and proceed safely.”
🌳 Analogy: Ocean and Boat
🌊 Imagine Life-Is as the powerful ocean and Self-Me as your small boat.
The ocean doesn’t stop for your boat. It flows steadily.
The boat doesn’t control the ocean but can choose to navigate wisely.
👉 If the boat reacts blindly to every wave → It risks capsizing ⛵❌.
👉 If the boat observes the waves, adjusts the sails mindfully → It moves steadily with the ocean’s flow ⛵✔️.
This is exactly what Chetasyog teaches:
The real power of human beings lies not in trying to control Life-Is, but in choosing how to respond mindfully to it 🌱.
🌟 Why Is This Important?
🔔 Most people misunderstand freedom.
They think freedom means having control over everything in life – being able to avoid all problems or get what they want.
But true freedom lies in realizing that Life-Is is always in control of causes and consequences, while Self-Me has the freedom to choose a mindful response.
✅ Mindset reaction → Limits, suffering, and disconnection.
✅ Mindful attention → Awareness, harmonious living, and well-being.
👉 Example:
Two people lose their jobs.
- Person A reacts with fear and despair 😨, blaming the world.
- Person B calmly reflects, “This is Life-Is causing this moment. What can I learn?” and begins a new journey 🛤️.
Over time, Person B experiences growth, peace, and new opportunities 🌸.
🌱 How to Practice Chetasyog in Daily Life
Here’s a simple 3-step practice you can start today:
1️⃣ Pause ⏸️
When something happens – a stressful phone call, an unexpected bill, a conflict with a friend – pause for a moment.
2️⃣ Ask Yourself ❓
👉 “What is Life-Is causing right now?”
👉 “What is the natural consequence arising from this event?”
This helps you see the situation not as a personal attack but as a universal flow of cause and effect.
3️⃣ Choose Wisely 🌟
Instead of reacting from fear, anger, or desire, do this:
- 🌬️ Breathe deeply.
- 👁️ Observe without judgment.
- 💭 Reflect calmly.
- ✨ Choose an action aligned with harmony.
👉 Example:
If someone criticizes you at work, instead of feeling angry or defensive, pause and reflect:
“Life-Is is presenting me with a learning opportunity. I can respond wisely and improve.”
🌸 Small Daily Action: Your First Step
Start now.
🌟 Next time you feel stress, anger, or fear rising, pause and ask yourself:
👉 “Is this my conditioned reaction, or a mindful response aligned with Life-Is?”
With regular practice, this becomes a habit.
Gradually, the synergy between Life-Is and Self-Me becomes natural 🌈.
👉 Over time, you’ll feel lighter, more connected, and more in control of your life’s direction 🌿.
