BOOK CONCLUSION
Since this book was focused on ways in which you can arise by yourself, it is important to make you stay aware that the concept of arising is divided in four parts: Arising By Falling, Arising By People, Arising By Oneself (which is this book) and Arising by God. Although I have made these parts into four separate book, they are ONE, and therefore should be treated so in order to understand the concept in its totality without partiality. You can also learn about all the concepts in one complete book; ARISINGS ( a series from the Art of Life). To make it easier for you to understand it all, here is a quick summary from ARISINGS:
1) If life beats you down through many adversities, problems and failures; then simply absorb them all and ARISE BY FALLING. For remember, It is inevitable to meet adversity while on the road to paradise. Success necessitates adversity as a necessary ingredient to its attainment and Life has chosen problems as necessary road to growing and living it! To overcome any and everything unfavorable to your well-being; that is, your comfort, health, happiness, then the mind MUST arise above and beyond that current problematic situations, even if you are presently involved or engaged in it! This is the core of the art of Arising by Falling, understand it well.
2) If you want to master the art of ARISING BY PEOPLE and make your dealings with people smooth, pleasant and beneficial, then simply remember the words of a Prophet, “LET LOVE LEAD,” then apply them into you everyday life. Were all individuals, corporations, societies and nations to be lead by love like this, then the whole world would be at peace.
You see, Your sincere desire to make people feel important is the engine that supplies power to your communication skills, without it your efforts to communicate will be powerless and your relationships will continue to be no more than a shot in the dark. And LOVE is the vehicle that gives this sincerity in this desire to make people important.
3) Now, in ARISING BY ONESELF, always keep in mind that you cannot arise by yourself nor can you arise by others and anything else unless you can first manage yourself.
You see, the key to all management and arisings, depend on your ability to manage and arise yourself at will, for only then can you be in a position to manage your environment, arise by it and arise by others. Most of the times we cannot control others and our environment, but the one and only thing we can always control and master is ourselves.
In other words, we may not be able to control what happens to us, but we can always control our reactions to what happened and what happens to us! Knowing this, we can be mathematicians of our own problems and the artist of own destinies.
4) But, compared to other forms of ARISINGS, ARISING BY GOD is the easiest, fastest and the most gratifying, edifying and illuminating. For through God we can withstand the adversities life throws at us and bear the weight of the spiritual burdens that unexpectedly come cascading upon our sure-footed realities. Through God, the veils of our material world illusions and sensual delusions get removed, our spiritual eyes open and we awake from cosmic sleep and receive Cosmic-Enlightenment.
5. Moreover, you can also learn that in ARISING BY NATURE, you can be:
As systematic as a Bee: As persistent as a Honey Badger: As tolerating and forgiving as a Dog: As relentless as a Dung Beetle: As clever as a hare: As quick-witted as a Warthog: As decisive as a Lion: As family oriented as a Wild Dog: As resourceful as a Human Being: As controlled as an African Elephant and As independent as a Baby Eagle.
However you must not be:
As shy as a Tortoise: As vulnerable as sheep: As crooked as Hyena: As chicken as a Chicken: As closed-minded as a Rock Dassie: As careless as Skunk: As inconsiderate as Carnivorous Snail and As greedy as a Man;
But Instead You Must Learn From:
The Ant: A Mushroom: A Chameleon: The Reptiles: A Cat: A Human Being: The Trees: The Earth but Most Importantly Learn from God:
