There is only one

They say, there's a speaker, there's a listener, there's a talker, there's a feeler, there's a thinker.
But there's only one. Doing all these activities at the same time.
So where is the confusion, why do we get distracted, what do we get disturbed/depressed about?
Confusion arises when we don't allow ourselves to do each of these activities to its completion/fruition.We are way too hard on ourselves. We order ourselves to do another activity before the one in hand is done.
For ex:- When we have to listen, we say to ourselves talk. And before we complete talking, we say feel, and before we feel it completely, we say talk again, before we complete talking again, we say think, and before we complete thinking.. we say feel.
We never completely do one thing. It takes a great deal of inner observation, awareness and discipline to teach ourselves to do one thing at a time. .The best part is, if we allow ourselves to do one thing completely the other things happen simultaneously beautifully.
Develop that kind of discipline, observation and awareness and be the one. :)
