How do we now live, survive and exist in the era of Coronavirus? How do we adjust to this new reality?
Sit down, relax, take a deep breath, don’t panic, don’t run. Mankind wasn’t created to run, it was created to sit. What I mean is sit down and think about what kind of life it could have become with what we have today.
And then there is life in which you begin to understand why you are on this earth and what your mission is.
Not the one where you run around your whole life, chasing things, then collapse and die.
We don’t know where Coronavirus came from. It’s not even important for now. But this pandemic in a way is a great deal. The virus came to stop humanity from our doing. The virus is telling mankind to pause, look around and understand what we’ve done to our planet. The virus is here to help us understand how we are destroying everything that helps us to exist. We are destroying the nature that developed us, gave birth to us, and help us grow.
Our world was moving towards the World War. There is a certain condition in life, even in our individual lives, when once we enter it we can longer exit out of it. Essentially it will drag us into a horrible state of mind. And that is the state of mind we got our world into.
If it wasn’t for this virus, there would be World War in the nearest future. Mankind is egoistic today and we came to the point where only war can help us renew our markets, renew everything. And we’ll start running again, after destroying it. As weird as it may sound, give gratitude to this virus.
Nature is so powerful and has amazing abilities. This virus is a global problem. Think about it…What a powerful, yet calm way to send the message globally. In the past there were fires, earthquakes, volcanoes across the world. We watched the news, we prayed for those who were affected and then we would go on with our lives.
This virus touched all of us and look how all of us kneel down and demonstrate readiness.
We need to understand the otherwise different mission of this virus. Don’t talk about this pandemic, talk about us. No need to think about how to defend ourselves against it, but think about how to transform ourselves with the help of this pandemic.
While you’re sheltering in place, find a minute alone and think about why this virus distanced us from each other. Today you’ re in your home with your wife, your husband, your children, your loved ones. Although you live with them and see them every day, you forget about their existence, their role in your life. Perhaps now you’ll find out what your loved one is really doing for work and how important their role is, or realize that your child is in fifth grade and about to go to middle school.
“Wow, kid, you grew up too fast!”
Precisely now you will start to actually see your children, your husband, your wife, your loved ones, etc.
But what about fear? Fear of getting infected or infecting others? Think about it, there were plenty of viruses in the past. A lot of people were dying. We just didn’t talk about it. We are used to the fact that every year there is a virus and the number of people get sick and infect others, some die. So what? We are raising panic in natural to us situations.
Logicians say that more people die in car accidents and flu, yet they write about it while sitting at home, keeping away from getting infected. Why? Because this virus transfers through our brains, through our inner sensation. That’s the kind of virus Coronavirus is. It manipulates our minds and our hearts and therefore we treat it differently. From people as high as presidents to working class, we all bow down to it.
It isn’t because the virus-infected someone or killed someone, it isn’t because mass media is creating the panic, the virus is here to shake humanity and open its eyes so we could see clearly.
This is a very important restructuring of the world, financial or psychological, but ideological. The spiritual wisdom begins to think about why we exist. Everything that happens on the material level gets forgotten in maximum, a century. This virus will too be forgotten if we allow it.
For a moment forget that this is a virus at all. What this really is kindness, supreme kindness, and mercy which is simply demonstrating to us what a horrible world we developed and how we struggle in it. We don’t see how we became slaves of our lives. Our existence looks like this; Every morning we get inside our car, drive hours in traffic to work, then work so that we could fill up the gas in our car, then drive hours back home after work. By the time we come home, it’s evening. We get to see our family for a short period of time, then we sit down to watch some stupid tv show and go to sleep. Same repeats tomorrow. Then our husbands or wives, then our kids. Where are our kids? They are doing some extracurricular activities for which we pay to work, and we work to pay for these extracurricular activities and so on.
This is terrible and we created it! Let’s work on changing this and the only fear we should have is the misuse of the present moment. That’s all!
The correct conclusion is our thoughts. Let’s think about why do we live? How can we build our lives differently? We suddenly see how some viruses can calm us all down. We are sitting at home, quietly, we don’t need millions or billions, they will disappear right now. We created all that money, all the riches to brag about it in our infinite egoism.
Now all the businesses will struggle and some will close. Airports are empty, ships are in ports, nothing to trade, nothing to do. And it’s ok! Provide yourself with the most necessary and that is all that you need.
I just hope this virus lasts long enough to completely clear humanity’s vision and teach us to live for ourselves.
We can’t exist forever. The whole lives we try to run away from the fact that one day we all die. The virus is a message not to run away from death because no one escapes it. Let's try to overcome this imaginary line of death. It's possible to be immortal and the virus can help us.
How? Rise higher above your egoism. It is what’s killing you. Learn to feel the world through your soul and you’ll see a different world. And believe me, this has nothing to do with religion, it is simply you feeling yourself within. Develop your soul and you can become the happiest person. Nature will guide you through it.
