OF SIMPLICITY

There is
enough for everybody’s need but not everybody’s greed.
– Gandhi

Even
Socrates, who lived a very frugal and simple life, loved to go to the market.
When his students asked about this, he replied, ‘I love to go and see all the
things I am happy without.’
-- Jack
Kornfield

Any
intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It
takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite
direction.
-- E. F. Schumacher
+ In this Journey of the Soul, we are being challenged to
change more than ever. We will be
changed in all kinds of ways by the forces of creation so we might as well
enjoy the process and learn how to participate in it wisely. The Abundance we all want is not
hard to get. It is all around us. But we are engaged in a colossal effort to
destroy this creation by wanting to take too much from it too fast. We have more than enough. So, why do we keep thinking we need even
more?
