{ 56 } Contentment- A short speech
"The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right."
Look at the underground river whose course just cannot be daunted. On the surface,
people stamp, and pull the ground cracks or left derelict, but underneath, the river keeps on flowing. At
some point it is only a trickle in the darkness. Water on the ground level is always at risk of pollution or
being dried up, used, drunk, and drawn on, but subterranean water is mostly untapped.
CONTENTMENT is the same. It is like a constant, unseen movement forward. Not
oblivious to challenge, but when the landscape of the mind, the surface of life, undergoes some
upheaval, the river responds, changes, and flows in and around, even though still unseen, all in a
contained and controlled manner. It just never dries up.
CONTENTMENT is a deep study of life, not just a bland
acceptance of it. People say: "Don't think too much", but to be content, we have to think
deeply, we have to watch carefully, respond very quietly, and move with the times in subtle ways.
And more than anything, the water below needs the current to move through the strange humps and
bumps of the subconscious. Without the current, there can be intelligence, but there will always
be depression, a feeling that you may just get lucky. And that current is a spiritual force. The conclusion
is that "Always feel the pull of destination that lies beyond everything."
