Enjoy your life and be positive
We are here under these ancient trees, a place of immense life and energy. The trees provide oxygen, shade, and healing for our eyes and spirit. We are children of the Mother Earth, who sustains us like a mother, her grass a forgiving cloth. Walk barefoot on this clean earth to connect with its energy. Our daily life, from waking to sleeping, should be observed with clarity. Our body is a complete family; the two eyes are sisters who cannot see each other, and the two nostrils are brothers who talk but cannot hear. This understanding guides practices like applying tilak and performing prāṇāyāma. Every part has purpose, like nails as tools. Beauty comes from within. We must not harm the body but enjoy life fully through good food, meditation, and work. Live well, feeling gratitude for everything.
"These trees that are here do not push the other trees away. That is very important."
"‘Sweet’ means think sweet, speak sweet, look sweet."
