HARMONIZE Life is consciousness. But the mind of man divides the world, categorizes it. He is part of the world, culture. In fact he is the epitome, the microcosm of his culture. All the values of his culture are internalized in him. The classification becomes the reality of his world. The word, the symbol, the image in his perceived world is all important. Man is no longer important. The human being becomes only a thing. But reality is not an image, a symbol, a word. It is m...ore than this. Reality is everything. It is all of life; animate and inanimate, cultural and environmental, abstract and concrete, chemical and biological, mental and physical. If you are not a whole person but a fragmented person, problems in life may be insurmountable. The responses to all the challenges of life are therefore partial and incomplete. This incompleteness is a rout to disaster. If you were a completely integrated person, you would be a whole person; wherever you would go and whatever challenges would confront you, you would be able to resolve. Now you can see that whole person has an integrated mind; a mind that is totally open. Whenever such a mind faces any decision in life, his response to it is total. He sees that his decision on that part of life, on that particular challenge, is placed in its proper perspective in relation to the whole; and therefore, gives that part its full value. That is the importance of being an integrated person. An integrated human being is totally harmonized. Harmony has wholeness and unity. Union has no division. If there is no division, there is no struggle, no conflict. The softness, lightness, gracefulness and the perfect coordination of all movements reflect the thorough integration of the mind and body. This integration harmonizes you with the universe and gives you peace.
