We must try to be aware and contained simultaneously, for if we don't we are fragmented, dissipating our energy willy-nilly. If we are inattentive, following associative thinking, then we insult Allah. Do this at your peril!

According to the Lord Buddha, one of the main reasons for our being on the planet is that we are dominated by our desires and our cravings after them. The main yearning we have is for a body and it is this craving which brings us back to the Earth repeatedly. The body is real enough in the third dimension but is illusion in the fifth. The way out of the rounds of lives and deaths is to know we are not the body but the essential self, call it spirit, soul or consciousness.
