You are completely surrounded by the Universe in the same way the fish is immersed in water. You are likely as unaware of this as well. You busily rush through your world, your day, dizzyingly pursuing whatever goals seem "required" for success, without seeing the big picture...
In truth there is nothing for you to do... You are as much a part of the natural Universe as are the Moon, the Ocean and the air. They make no effort at existence, they simply ARE.
The world of Man is a world of illusion; you are taught to constantly drive forward, to push, to strive, to struggle... TO NEED! There is nothing that you need, there is nothing that you need do. Simply BE...
Still water reflects beautifully precisely because it is still and natural. You are your most natural when you are not needing (needy), not chasing, not struggling... When you are struggling you are saying my existence is not enough, my part in the Universe is not enough, what I am is not enough. All of the material gains you may accumulate however, will never make you more than you already are. The great masters know/knew this and have taught us this message over and over. "Behold the lilies of the field. They strive not..."
Striving is recognizing scarcity. If God is all things then the Universe is ALL God, and you are as well. There is no scarcity associated with God. Through DOing (striving/struggling) you are denying your divinity, saying you need more. Only through stillness, contentment, joy are you reflecting your true nature, your divinity...
Today, put down your list, stop rushing around. Take in a deep breath, focus on your breathing, simply BE a part of the Universe...
