“O Master, I understand that I have a body, mind, emotions, perception, spirit and essence. Each of these attributes may grow at a variable pace. If all the attributes are in harmony, all is well. But is that all?”
“No Ignoramus, there are many more attributes to be named yet. We are confined by the language we use. Even if we invent a new word, it will be formed by some root words that will limit its meaning. Let us leave that for another day and look at the entire you.
You must have noticed that your entire self grows, evolves to newer levels.”
“Yes Master”
“For a while there is slow evolution and suddenly you find yourself at a new level of awareness. Like a tree that develops new rings every year you develop newer levels of realization. Sometimes you may acquire many levels in a year and sometimes one in many years. You become conscious of much more than ever before. There is wisdom that was never there before. ”
“That is true Master.”
“You must have observed that you interact with different people at different levels.
And some of these levels are entirely for interacting with your own self. You are well aware of the constant interesting interactions that you have with your own self. These innermost levels hold the seeds for the newer levels.
Thus grows your Essence, your true unique self. Your Essence determined by your genes, your exclusive place in space time and your unique experiences.”
