Do we not seek, through all this confusion, something permanent, something lasting, something which we call real, God, truth, what you like – the name doesn’t matter, the word is not the thing, surely. So don’t let us be caught in words. Leave that to the professional lecturers. There is a search for something permanent, is there not?,in most of us – something we can cling to, something which will give us assurance, a hope, a lasting enthusiasm, a lasting certainty, because in ourselves we are so uncertain. We do not know ourselves. We know a lot about facts, what the books have said; but we do not know for ourselves, we do not have a direct experience.
And what is it that we call permanent? What is it that we are seeking, which will, or which we hope will give us permanency? Are we not seeking lasting happiness, lasting gratification, lasting certainty? We want something that will endure everlastingly, which will gratify us. If we strip ourselves of all the words and phrases, and actually look at it, this is what we want. We want permanent pleasure, permanent gratification – which we call truth, God or what you will.

This is a tale of a seed that received much warmth and nurturing from the earth in which it was planted. This seed, in the dominion of unconditional love & care sprouted roots, a stem, to take form of a seedling. The seedling, which was now aware & conscious, which knew the loving embrace of its mother earth, now also knew the love from the open air — which brought upon it much grace by its breezes, rain and sunshine. It grew up to see others like itself in a vast field of youthful dreamers. The young plant made many friends as it felt a wonderful connectedness with everything around it. And, even a friendly farmer would regularly stop by and offer delicious nourishments and thoughtful caretaking. The young plant experienced love from its mother earth, father sun, from all its siblings & friends, and from the kind and friendly farmer. And, so, as time passed on, the young plant grew stronger, older, and it deeply loved its habitat. The plant didn’t feel alone.
