What causes suffering is trying to avoid the facts of life, trying to avoid pain and trying to seek happiness. When things are not going well and we feel depressed, or inadequate, take notice of these important moments in your life. At this moment real healing can take place.
Poets find great inspiration from places in nature. We too can find inspiration from places in nature. These places can give us untold energy, whether we use this energy for good or bad is up to us. Find time to go out into nature on a regular basis, look for those places that inspire you.
There is an underlying energy or essence that permeates all things, it is always there, it is perfect and creates all things. This energy connects us all with the universe and each other; we are all part of it. This energy helps you live a plain and simple life in harmony with nature.
After finishing your own tasks, use your strength in the service of others. Help where help is needed, but weigh carefully how much you can help without doing harm. Only when this feeling exists can you give yourself unconditionally, without hesitation.
Quote: Learning without close association with others is like learning to swim without water.
