Why Living as Being-Self Individual Existence Has Become So Complicated for Humans? 🌱
Have you ever felt that life is too complicated? 😓 That no matter how much you try, there’s always stress, fear, or confusion surrounding you? You’re not alone. In fact, this is one of the most common feelings people experience today. But why has life become so complicated for us as human beings? 🤔
Let me explain this in the simplest way possible, using analogies, emojis, and easy words, so you can feel it in your heart and mind.
🚗 The Driving Analogy: How Life Became Complicated.
Imagine driving a car 🚗 for the first time. At first, it’s simple. You focus on steering, pressing the accelerator, and braking when needed. But gradually, you start worrying about many other things:
🛑 What if I get fined?
⛽ What if I run out of fuel?
🚧 Is this the fastest route or am I going to get stuck in traffic?
🧑🤝🧑 What if people think I drive badly?
Soon, driving doesn’t feel joyful anymore. It becomes stressful and complicated. Similarly, living as a Being-Self Individual Existence (the “Self-Me” experience) has become complicated for most people. Instead of simply living life, they are entangled in fear, expectations, and comparison.
🧍♂️ What Is Being-Self Individual Existence?
Let’s first understand what we mean by Being-Self Individual Existence.
👉 It’s simply the sense of “I am Self-Me”:
- My body 🧍♂️
- My thoughts 💭
- My feelings ❤️
- My identity 👤
- My personal achievements 🏆
It’s natural to have this sense. After all, we live in a world where personal identity is important.
But here’s the problem ➡️ Over time, many humans start to live only in this “Self-Me” mode. Their entire life becomes a never-ending pursuit of “How can I get more?”, “How can I be better?”, and “How can I avoid problems?” 🚧
This makes life complicated.
❓ Why Has It Become So Complicated?
1️⃣ Overthinking 🌀
Most people live in a constant loop of thoughts:
- “Am I good enough?”
- “What will others think about me?”
- “What if I fail?”
- “How can I get more success, love, or money?”
Our mind becomes like a storm 🌪, filled with fear, doubt, and endless questions.
2️⃣ Attachment & Expectations 🧲
From childhood, society teaches us to achieve, compete, and accumulate:
- Earn money 💰
- Get a good job 👔
- Buy a big house 🏠
- Look successful 👀
We get attached to these things and expect that they will bring happiness.
👉 But here’s the truth:
⚡ Nothing in the external world is permanent.
⚡ When expectations aren’t met, we suffer. 😔
3️⃣ Isolation from Life’s Flow 🌳
Other living beings—like birds 🐦, elephants 🐘, or trees 🌳—don’t overthink. They don’t compare, worry, or compete.
They naturally live in harmony with life’s rhythm.
Humans, however, have separated themselves from this natural rhythm. We focus only on our individual Self-Me identity, forgetting that Life-Is flows through us.
4️⃣ False Sense of Control 🎛️
Many believe that if they work hard enough, they can control life.
But reality shows otherwise:
🌧️ Storms come,
📉 Stocks fall,
❤️ Relationships break,
👨⚕️ Illness strikes.
This creates frustration, anxiety, and a deep sense of helplessness.
🌊 The Big Problem: Suffering of Self-Me.
Because of this over-focus on “Self-Me” identity, life turns into suffering for many:
- Anxiety 😰
- Depression 😢
- Loneliness 😔
- Restlessness 💭
Even simple joy becomes elusive because the mind is always restless, comparing, judging, and expecting.
👉 But despite all this suffering, people continue to live in the “Self-Me” mode… because it’s all they know.
👉 Their environment, culture, education, and social system reinforce this way of living.
🌟 The Real Solution: Awakening to Synergy of Life-Is and Self-Me
Here’s where the beautiful wisdom of Chetasyog comes in 🌸.
👉 Instead of seeing ourselves as separate individuals struggling alone, we can awaken to the truth that we are Life-Is expressing itself through a temporary body (Self-Me).
This means:
💡 “I am not just a separate ‘Self-Me’, I am Life-Is—cosmic consciousness—manifesting in this form.”
💡 “Life-Is is not outside me. It flows through me.”
🌊 Analogy: The Wave and the Ocean.
🌊 A wave thinks:
“I am a small, fragile wave. I have to survive storms and reach the shore.”
But in truth, the wave is not separate from the ocean.
👉 It is the ocean itself, moving, expressing, and returning.
Similarly, we are not isolated Self-Me struggling alone.
We are expressions of Life-Is—cosmic consciousness flowing through a temporary Self-Me body.
🌼 How Life Changes with This Awareness.
1. ✅ Peace of Mind
Once you stop fighting life and start flowing with it, your mind becomes calmer.
🌱 Anxiety decreases, and restlessness fades.
2. ✅ Freedom from Attachments
Understanding that happiness is not in external things but in the inner awareness of Life-Is and Self-Me helps us let go of unhealthy attachments.
3. ✅ Meaningful Living
Life becomes not about “getting more,” but about being present, connected, and mindful of every breath 🌬️, every moment ⏳.
🕊️ Conclusion: Living the Simple Way
The real problem is not that Being-Self Individual Existence is complicated.
It’s that we have forgotten the Life-Is part of our existence.
Until we awaken to this simple but powerful awareness, we remain trapped in mental struggle and suffering.
👉 The path forward is simple but profound:
💡 Mindful awareness of the synergy between Life-Is (cosmic consciousness) and Self-Me (individual existence).
🌸 Life becomes simple when we stop seeing ourselves as small, separate individuals.
🌸 Life becomes joyful when we realize:
👉 “I am Life-Is itself… expressing, learning, evolving, and flowing.”
🌼 Remember:
Being a wave is beautiful when you know you are the ocean 🌊.
Being human is joyful when you know you are Life-Is expressing as Self-Me 🌌.
Let’s not complicate life by trying to control it. Instead, let’s flow with it 🌿.
🙏 Thank you for reading. May you awaken to the beautiful simplicity of Life-Is and Self-Me synergy and experience peace in your Being 🌸✨.
