The Jigsaw Puzzle

Life as you know it, or the world around you – everything is one colossal apparatus with distinctive components that work together to form the whole system, and we are part of it.

Personal perspective is always subjective, thus each of us is a piece of the Jigsaw Puzzle that I refer to as “life”. As humans, we are all limited beings, because we don’t know everything and nobody will, while everything has always been there to begin with; we are just learning.

The world is multi-dimensional by nature, and for the most part, each individual can only interpret it to a limited extent, no matter how wise and accomplished we are.

Enlightenment shows you the way of truth, as spiritually mature people know everything is intertwined with a complex network; that’s how everything shares the state of oneness and form this whole tapestry of existence.

What most of us are doing in everyday life is divide, divide, divide; we tend to chop things up into pieces then analyze them, trying to comprehend each component separately. But like a machine, the distinctive parts all function together, each performing its own task(s), to make the whole system.

You can dissect things and examine every single part to understand its intrinsic characteristics, but then you need to re-assemble all the parts to their pre-dissection state to see how each part makes sense within the whole system instead of judging/concluding each part separately.

No one is complete, therefore the other people who are good at different things, who have different worldviews, come together and complement each other, making up a whole society as we have; that’s why we need teamwork.

Those different worldviews are the remaining puzzle pieces that we need to put together, alongside with ours, to complete the “Big Picture” of life. And that’s also what visionary people do.

To see how everything makes sense as an interconnected whole is to see how each of our primal ego is futile and to become more a refined human being. With enough vision, we become more empathetic towards other lives around us, and we will act compassionately, with a sense of depth in our intent, because we now see more than we used to.

Don’t be quick to jump to jump to conclusions on anything; take time to understand it. See more before we can evaluate correctly.

Be patient, be open-minded and be willing to learn, to look at matters from other angles will help us view life with more clarity, in order to reach the point where we can finally see why things are the way they are, not muddled by our own colors of the old self, as we become aware of the natural laws and principles by which all things are governed.

Only then will we be able to let go of our primal self, attain inner peace, become more tolerant and resilient.
