I know I have already talked about this factor (blog entry two?) but I really want to speak, write of it again.This is the matter of being in tune with existence. When you are in tune with exsistence every thing you need will be right there. When you are not in tune with exsistence everything you need will still be there, but you may not realize it. There is a Jain quote "When you come to planet Earth you come with everything you will need. Food, water, everything you need to live your span of life." The problem is we totally wast these things, energy is included in this. There is this sweet story I read a few months back.
This young girl is sitting in class and the teacher asks the students to write the seven wonders of the world. All the kids write and the put their pencils down. This one little girl keeps writing though. Finally after a few minutes the teacher says "there are only seven how can you have so much to write?" The child replies "there are more then seven! I can see, I can hear, I can smell, I can touch, I can read..... she keeps going on until the teacher finally stops her."
This is what i mean by 'in tune with existence' this child perfectly understood the existence was providing for her. The problem is in today's society we get caught up in so many extra things. When we don't get though things we get depressed. So that all I have for today. Please check back in soon!
