Spiritual Reality

A man's true religion is not what he believes but rather what is dear to him. His heart can only be stirred by what he loves. His mind can only ponder what interests him. The reality of his deeds shall only ever be the essence of his motivation. He who is selfish can only be exploitative, no matter his happy thoughts or acts of kindness. The man who cares shall always care even when he cares not to.

One follows in the stead of what he admires. What do you admire? Wealth? Knowledge? Fame? Power? He who adores that which passes away is bound to its transience. His life shall be just as superficial for he squanders his days chasing phantoms.

Do you appreciate the little things? Do you see the unassuming beauty in all things real? Are those who care dear to you? The man who cares for the sake of caring knows joy beyond the moments of pleasure. His deeds are a sowing of little things full of promise. He tends his crop. His fate is the reaping of a bountiful harvest. What he reaps shall be his own for it shall be of his own making.

What is your religion? What do you admire? Is your life meaningful? Honesty shall answer these questions honestly.

  1. It is in the little things that we prove who we are. When no one is looking, that is when you demonstrate what, if anything, is there.

    1. Indeed. All things big are simply a gathering of things small.

  2. Why would one value something that is bound only to this world. Seems like it would be pretty wasteful. Besides, most of the big things most people value in life usually cause more hard than good to the poor people who need a little deference to change their lives.

    1. Insightful. Yes, the yearnings of most hearts are for harmful vainglory. Honestly, I don't understand why. Perhaps their small minds simply don't care to seek beyond their mindless impulses.
