We need to develop a zest for challenge and for life. By doing this you will develop a practice that gives you inspiration and an uplifted feeling. Life then becomes a process of growing up, and you becoming more and more fearless. This way life becomes a sense of play.
You will never know the essence of life by merely understanding the interplay of mechanistic forces, or you observe life like viewer and subject. The true nature of life can only be comprehended by merging fully with the flow of life, so that you are utterly part of it.
When we think we know the answers we are difficult to guide. When we realize we don’t know, it becomes easy to find our way. By keeping your mind open you become aware of numerous possibilities. Be content with an ordinary life, this way you can show people the way back to their true nature.
Clarity and open awareness reside in the heart. When the mind is open and aware, your heart is in charge of your thinking and actions. You can change your heart by being flexible and receptive to others. If your heart is open. there is nothing that can influence you, unless you want it to.
Quote: Life can exist only in a cooperative, sharing relationship with other life. David Korten
