Finding a Meaningful World
Your life won’t change if you don’t check tomorrow’s weather, your stock quotes, or the daily news.
Nothing will happen if you don’t stay current with celebrity gossip or if you don’t know the latest casualty on American Idol.
The world—what the East calls Maya—is in a constant state of change. Nothing is permanent. Everything is transitory.
Our mind’s obsession with acquiring the latest bits of data keeps us locked in a world of dreams.
You can break free. You can stop projecting meaning into the meaningless. You can take a stand and consciously choose what’s most important to you. Your time is precious; be sure you invest in it wisely.
With this renewed awareness, you may discover that gazing at a flower holds greater long-term benefits than staring at daily stock quotes or the nightly news.
