Aatmavat Sarvabhuteshu - treat others as you would treat yourself

Aatmavat Sarvabhuteshu 

                                       -  treat others as you would treat yourself


Life is a reflection of our own self.  If you are good you can see the good aspect in everything and everywhere.  It is like standing in front of mirror and looking at your image, you cannot see other than your own self.  We can see our reflection but we cannot see our self in reality.  We can feel what we are and others can describe how we are and how we look.  It is only through others eyes we can be described.  We can describe others and others can describe us.  We need the other as much as the other needs us.  It is like we are 50% and the other is 50% and you become 100% with the combination of both or the other.  The other is as important as yourselves.  Without the other half you remain incomplete.  Your completeness depends on the other half which is outside of yourselves. 

Aatmavat Sarvabhuteshu means treat others as you treat yourself.  If you considers yourselves as human being, you need to know how to treat all other living beings properly with utmost respect and due regard for the feeling of others.  Your happiness lies in others happiness.  Unless you strive for others happiness you cannot get the feeling of satisfaction in life.  You cannot hurt somebody and feel happy about it.  It is only when others are happy and satisfied we can be rest assured of overall happiness.  Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu - may all live happily.  It is a Sanskrit phrase that is often recited in Hindu prayer.  It is a prayer or wish for well being and happiness of all beings.  It is a mantra or a prayer for universal peace and happiness.

Male and Female, both are essential for propagation of life or continuation of life on this planet.  Life is always a combination effect.  It is only when things merge, you emerge into existence.  You are not alone and cannot be alone.  You are not one, you are a combination of millions of organisms which is giving out your final structure and appearance.  You are wholesome or completed thing of the construct of multicellular organisms.  

Whatever nature produces or creates and brings into existence will have to depend on the environment they are in to sustain themselves.  Coexistence is the Mantra.  Life is always interdependent and never will be and cannot be independent.  Life depends on life to exist, sustain, and to prolong ones life on this planet.  No product of nature is self sustaining, everything is made to be interdependent.  It is always the other which is more important than yourselves for your existence.  You have come into existence because of others, you have to sustain yourselves with the cooperation of others.  We need to develop the right attitude and respect to trust, believe, and cooperate with others for universal well being.

You are the other half of the full and you will become full when you find your other half.

Spirituality helps you to realize and become a complete human being.  It is a path to discover self.  Unless you know who you really are, you will never know the whole concept of life and living which is outside of yourselves.  The first step will take you to the last step of spiritual liberation.  The complexities of life and living can be understood only when you start questioning about your fundamental existence.  The spiritual journey starts from within and then ends outside of yourselves.


Become Spiritual to know yourselves inside-out fully and thoroughly
