There was a time I looked at those dedicated to causes and marveled at them.
How does one give one's life over completely to a single cause?
Jane Goodall with the Gorillas.
Sages to their spirituality.
I was not able to do it.
I was attached to little things.
Shopping for one.
Though I did not buy expensive big items,
I love treating myself to little items.
There was also the Korean Drama series I was addicted to.
When it happened, I do not know.
I just know one day I look at myself.
And I am dedicated to my path to God.
The past few months I was engaged in self training.
Steeping myself firmly in God.
Moving away from the material world.
Training myself to operate more and more from my spirit self.
In the past, when I was working on a flaw.
I did it by keeping my gaze on it by a sort of awareness,
till by degrees I worked on it and freed myself from it.
I found myself employing the same tactic.
I kept looking at God in my depths.
At the spirit world with words of Jesus resounding in my mind.
The world, as we know it, is passing away.
Why put so much stock on it?
Slowly, I was able to feel myself separating from it.
I live simply, like a hermit.
I eat simply, drawn to fresh and healthy.
Less is more.
What does it befit a man to live in a mansion.
Coveting and coveting more wealth when he or she already have more than enough?
Death might come calling and that is the end of everything.
Myopic, myopia.
I do not want to live that way.
Hence I look to Jesus, to the saints and sages.
And learned from them.
From the teachings of Jesus to the Hindu mystics, to Buddhists holy men.
Who teaches us a valuable lesson,
Of the impermanence of things.
Of the importance of living this life as best as we get,
While straining ahead to the next life.
