If Happiness Was In Money Or Power,

Sometimes I Come Across A Tree Which Seems Like Buddha Or Jesus: Loving, Compassionate, Still, Unambitious, Enlightened, In Eternal Meditation, Giving Pleasure To A Pilgrim, Shade To A Cow, Berries To A Bird, Beauty To Its Surroundings, Health To Its Neighbors, Branches For The Fire, Leaves For The Soil, Asking Nothing In Return, In Total Harmony With The Wind And The Rain. How Much Can I Learn From A Tree? The Tree Is My Church, The Tree Is My Temple, The Tree Is My Mantra, The Tree Is My Poem And My Prayer.

People Are Increasingly Becoming Disappointed And Disillusioned With Politics And Business, And Especially With The Market Economy. They Are Meeting The Physical Needs Of Human Beings, Maybe. They Are Providing Food. But Not Good And Healthy Food.

In Spite Of Nuclear Weapons, Large Numbers Of American Citizens Feel Totally Insecure. And In Spite Of So Much Wealth, Industry And Technology, Many Americans Are Living Under Deprivation And Anxiety. So Happiness Is Not In Accumulation Of Material Goods, It's In Sharing And Caring.

We Live Under The Power Of Modern Consciousness, Which Means That We Are Obsessed With Progress. Wherever You Are Is Not Good Enough. We Always Want To Achieve Something, Rather Than Experience Something. The Opposite Of This Is Spiritual Consciousness. By That I Mean You Find Enchantment In Every Action You Do, Rather In Just The Results Of Your Action. Spiritual Consciousness Is Not A Particular Religion But A Way Of Being.

It Is Only An Illusion That Time Is Running Out. This Is Where The Problem Of Fear Arises. We Become Anxious That "i Don't Have Enough Time And I Have To Do Everything Quickly." We Need To Turn Our Attention Away From Results, Achievements And Outcomes.
