Why do I think that I know, for I really do not know? Why do I really say that I know, for I do not know what I say? Why do I act that I know, for I do not know myself fully?
The contingency of this world has influenced my very being to be shallow. I tend to live a life of superficiality, doing things for the sake of doing. The world lured life to haste with the maxim, maximum pleasure and minimum pain in short time. Everyone seems to seek facts and justification so the normal life turns to abnormal life.
When I look at my life according to the standard of the world, that is a matter of so much importance without heeding the voice of the heart there is a lacuna within me. This emptiness cannot be filled by technology and science. The reality is hid-den within and I need to search for that treasure - 'the indivisible'. The moment I find that invisible reality within me then I can see others. This secret was revealed by the fox in the book, The Little Prince, "It is only with heart that one can see rightly". What is essential is invisible to the eye.
To understand this treasure one must waste time with the reality of life; family members, relations, friends, etc. As the Good Book says, our heart is where the treasure is, so put your heart to the heart of others. The clarion call for happiness is to live authentically. Let the business of this world not dehumanize your heart to hasten everything. The most ridiculous thing of life is to be busy in the world with self forgetfulness and inauthentic life. Heart sees the invisible through our human relationship.
