Are we truly alive? || Neem Candies
You may not want to admit to the other that you are actually neurotic—which most people are. I am not talking of the fringe five percent. I am talking of the bulk of the world’s population. We all are neurotic. So, that disease has been there all throughout. It’s just that the disease was there inwardly; now the disease has become external.
If you are somebody who values only the body, then you will be alarmed only when the body collapses. But if you are somebody who values the richness of inner life as well, then you would be in mourning when the inner self collapses and dies. And inwardly we all have been dying very sad deaths continuously.
Just because a man appears to be walking on his two legs and breathing and eating, don’t assume him to be alive. Being alive is something totally different. There is a lot of morbidity in the way we all live.
