Though we know we don’t need everything in this world, still our ego wants every thing only for us if possible. One of the reasons for that is our physical needs for survival. The actual reason is the part and whole relationship which exists between us and this universe. Everything in this universe is interconnected and we augment each other.
We like skies, land, trees, mountains, rivers, oceans, flowers, those of different kinds; animals, people, people of different types and shapes. We like variety of things and a lot of them in this world, like food, music, stars, knowledge etc. In other words we want pretty much the whole world. Also we want to know all of the world and universe because we are part of it.
There is synergy and centralization in this universe which shows up as a scattered truth. We can have it all or we can be it all; in a nice way or in a bad way. The bad way is that of greed and lust and the nice way of having everything is being part of the whole. Sufis teach us how we can attach ourselves with the whole to enjoy everything without causing any chaos.
