There is no shortage of beauty in the world. There is no shortage of beauty in your life. And there is no shortage of beauty in yourself. Yet, it is not the way life is lived. Life is lived in stress, conflict, dissatisfaction, a constant race to nowhere, and mountains of problems that can never be truly resolved.
So, life, which is not short of beauty in any way-in fact, if there is such a thing as endless beauty, it is life itself-yet that life, which is not short of beauty, is lived without beauty at all. It is lived only with the fake imitations of that beauty, which are all made by conditions, by circumstances.
Now, you tell yourself: is there a question more important for you in your life than how to live that beauty? How to let that beauty-which life is not short of, which is the essence of life itself-how to let it be, let it live?
And of course, the question has to do with your life. If your life is not the life of the whole, then it’s not life at all. There is only life. And in your lifetime, life is lived far away from its endless beauty.
So, is it not the most important question that you can ask? Of course, you can ask it in so many ways, but fundamentally, it is the only question that reveals the nature of that which hinders the endless beauty of life.
You continue with that, if you want, and you don’t stop, if it’s important for you, until forever-because the very nature of that beauty is eternity. So, don’t come to it with, or approach that question with, limited capacity, resources, or willingness.
