During the youthful years of life charged with zest, ego, arrogance, and self ignorance,
It is often difficult to humbly submit to the wisdom of life. It has its own benefits and handicaps.
Acknowledging this fact of life, each pocket of civilization has consciously incorporated traditions in daily social life as gentle reminders for acknowledging the Spirit of Gratitude.
Genuine gratitude is a wordless expression on either side of a relationship; a silent response audible through deeds. Thanking Mother Nature and its Creation by selflessly serving to maintain and preserve its sanctity as a self enriching expression of Gratitude.
One of the self-expressive tradition built into the Japanese cultural way of life is especially noticeable when two individuals meet, they gently bow to each other before starting any conversation.
Gently and silently bowing to the innate universal wisdom inherent in each other as well as every element of Creation, animate or inanimate, enhances Life to its boundless potential.
During the youthful years of Life, if we do not learn to humbly respect the “ Wisdom of Life “, the life energy bends and bows us downwards in submission as a gentle reminder towards the tail end of life.
Life is a precious gift to receive in its entirety, as-is, with utmost gratitude; for in its spirit both the receiver as well as the offerer ultimately fuse into a singular identity. ….prompts the age-old universal wisdom of Yoda !
