人生必須面對很多選擇，例如我們可能扮演父母、孩子或伴侶，但大部份時候，我們都同時扮演多個角色。除了現實中的角色，我們還會扮演想像中的角色，例如英雄、聖人或普通人。對於這些角色，我們在內心建立了多個不同的自我，而每個自我都有機會控制我們的行為。
因此，要到達身心合一的境界，對我們是一項挑戰。問題在我們的內心，它承載著情感和理智，如果內心不能統一，我們扮演的角色就容易產生衝突，讓生活變得混亂。這情況就像一齣獨角戲，隨著劇情的發展，我們會變得糊塗不清。
有個師父每天早上都會大喊："你在嗎？又是新的一天，要保持覺醒，別再糊塗了！" 然後他又大聲回答：“是的，我在這裡，我會盡力做好！" 在他身旁卻沒有其他人。徒弟們以為他瘋了，但實際上他只是在自導自演一齣情境劇。他既是導演又是演員，既是說者又是聽者，這樣很不容易，因為角色容易混淆。
自導自演一齣情境劇雖然相當複雜，需要大量練習才能成功，卻是達到身心合一的方法。我們的理智就像導演，而身體和情感就像演員。由理性帶領感性，我們就能演好自己這齣人生的獨角戲。
外界的事情刺激我們的感官，產生情緒，這是感性向理性發出的信號。如果我們的理智在平時已經有足夠的訓練，這時就能指揮身體，準確地做出反應，並讓情緒平復。如果沒有足夠的意識儲備，理智就不能發揮作用，我們只能按以前的習慣來行事。對於複雜的事情，這種反射式的行為很容易出錯，因此也經常導致情緒低落。讓情緒引導我們按照習慣去行事，就是容易出錯的原因。
因此，要達成身心合一，我們首先要訓練自己的觀察能力，了解自己的想法、情緒和感受，尤其是了解自己的需要。然後是培養我們的思考和歸納能力，以便在日常生活中解析和應對情況。提高意識水平，並有意識地協調身心，是一個自主成長的過程，也是我們人生劇本的重要組成部份。
人生如戲，但這齣戲的結局並不在我們的掌控範圍之內。以統一的身心演好自己的角色，然後接受大自然安排的結局，我們這齣戲就是好戲。而無論演出過程是快樂、悲傷，還是無聊，我們都應該珍惜這個機會，運用情感和理智，留下屬於自己的精彩場面。

The path to Tranquility (61)
Life is a one-man show
In life, we have to face many choices, such as playing the roles of parent, child, or partner, but most of the time, we play multiple roles at once. In addition to these real-life roles, we also play imaginary roles, such as hero, sage, or ordinary person. For these roles, we have built multiple different egos within us, and each ego has the opportunity to control our behavior.
Therefore, achieving a state of unity of body and mind is a challenge for us. The problem lies within our inner selves, which carry emotions and reason. If our inner selves are not unified, the roles we play will easily cause conflicts, making life chaotic. The situation is like a one-man show, and as it goes on we become confused and unclear.
There is a master who shouts every morning: "Are you there? It's a new day, stay awake, don't be confused anymore!" Then he loudly replies: "Yes, I am here, and I will try my best! " But there was no one else beside him. The disciples thought he was crazy, but in fact he was just directing and acting in a situational drama. He is both director and actor, speaker and listener, which is not easy because the roles are easily confused.
Although directing and acting in a situational drama is quite complicated and requires a lot of practice to be successful, it is a way to achieve the unity of body and mind. Our reason is like the director, and our body and emotions are like the actors. By leading our sensibility with reason, we can play our own one-man show of life well.
External events can stimulate our senses, creating emotions, which are signals sent from our emotions to our reason. If our rationality has been sufficiently trained in normal times, we can command our body to respond accurately and calm down our emotions. If there are not enough conscious reserves, reason cannot function, and we can only act according to our habits. For complex matters, this reflexive behavior is prone to mistakes and often leads to low moods. Letting emotions direct us to act according to habit, this is the reason for us so prone to mistakes.
Therefore, to achieve unity of body and mind, we must first train our observation skills, understand our thoughts, emotions, and feelings, especially our needs. Then cultivating our thinking and generalizing skills, in order to analyze and respond to situations in our daily lives. Raising our level of consciousness and consciously coordinating our body and mind is a process of self-growth and an important component of the script of our lives.
Life is like a play, but the ending of this play is beyond our control. To play our role with unity of body and mind, then accept the natural arrangement of the ending, this play will be a good one. Regardless of whether the process of performance is happy, sad, or boring, we should cherish this opportunity, use our emotions and reason, and leave a wonderful scene of our own.
