A smart kid comes from wise parents. As a wise parent, you must know how to live your life as if everything is a miracle in order to teach your child to become smart. To do just that, you need
enlightenment—which is going beyond life.
Knowledge is different from wisdom in that the former is acquisition of knowledge, while the latter is the intuition of the knowledge gathered. Knowledge may make you smart, but not necessarily wise. Only true human wisdom may lead to enlightenment, which is an endless process of knowing and understanding that is simply there for all, and its existence is natural and available to all. It is like knowing that at sunrise you will see sunlight as long as you open your eyes; you don’t have to know anything else about the sun other than its presence—but you have to open your eyes to see its presence. It does not require strenuous effort to attain enlightenment; it is simply there. But you have to look inside yourself, and ask relevant questions about life—what you want out of life—as well as about the self—who you really are, and not who you wish you were.

Enlightenment often
comes as a result of a conscious self-annihilation of anything that is “myself”
or the ego-self. It delivers you to another dimension of life. It begins with
being not satisfied with what you are seeking in your life. No matter how hard you make yourself to be,
in the end, it is frustrating and not enough. No matter how wonderful you make
yourself, still it is not enough. Only when you “let go of the self”—that is when you
let go of all your attachments that have become “myself” then everything becomes wonderful in your life—that is enlightenment. Human basic longing is to live
better. Ultimately knowing that living better is not going to get you anywhere,
then you will understand that you have to go beyond life—and going beyond life is enlightenment.
This
125-page book is about how to live your life as if everything is a miracle,
instead of as if nothing is a miracle. To do just that, you need wisdom to
"rethink" your mind, which may not be telling you the whole truth about
your thoughts and life experiences; you need wisdom to "renew" your
body, which lives in a toxic physical environment; you need spiritual wisdom to
"reconnect" your soul, which is the essence of your spirituality.
Most importantly, you need wisdom to "realign" your whole being
because the body, the mind, and the soul are all interconnected and
interdependent on one another for your well-being to live your life as if
everything is a miracle. Your mind is the road map and your soul is the compass;
without them, your body is going nowhere, and you will live your life as if
nothing is a miracle.
With enlightenment, you will become a better, happier, and healthier you.
With enlightenment, you will live a stress-fee life. Learn how to overcome your
stress by letting go your ego-self. No Ego No Stress!
