Nature of our work…

After working in the field, farmers in Asia return home with their partners singing happily on the way. Bee visits flower after flower, yet when tired sleeps peacefully on the flowerbed. Trees work silently and when breeze visits them, they dance harmoniously.

We work as well but we often lack peace and calm. It is not that our work is not important. But if we reflect honestly we see that we suffer because of our ever present subconscious belief that our work is somehow uniquely important than a farmer, a bee, a tree and many others.

We need to ask ourselves: “Is that so?” We need to this again and again, so that the waves of truth collapse the sandcastles of exaggerations and unnecessary self importance we built for ourselves. Without these sandcastles blocking our view, ocean breeze comforts us right away~
