The Limitless World

The refreshing tune of whistling birds and chirping songs woke me with such a taste for perfection. I shuttered my eyes, open and closed, and the world seemed to be in order yet. I really took the time this morning to enjoy my surroundings and connect to the air, the living, and the inanimate. I really do have a love for all things created, not just nature itself.

I'm not a Shintoist, so I don't believe everything houses a soul, but I do believe that everything created by either man, machine, or the natural world should be respected. Everything around us is built like clockwork and placed in such a perfect spot, that it must be 100% correct to create regular, everyday-life as it is known. If one thing was out of place, things would be much different. Different in an almost unrecognizable way.

I encourage all of my friends and relatives to enjoy the little things in life, because I feel it is all too-common that we take these things for granted.

Surely, we cannot take the time to enjoy every aspect of our world in every moment in time, but recognizing that we need to acknowledge the respect these things deserve is of the utmost importance.

In everyone's lifetime, they will seek humble ingenuity in one form or another. To be a truly humble person, as far as I know from my own experiences, it takes;

1. 0% Pride
2. 0% Desire
3. 100% Acknowledgement

As taught by the Buddha in his own accounts and scriptures in accord to other people's references, a man must follow his Dharma to achieve a state of pure humble ingenuity, otherwise known as Nirvana. No, not the band. Nirvana is a mysterious state of mind that has only ever been achieved by Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) himself. It is said that by doing all of the things listed above, in most basic terms, you will feel the weight of the world drop from it's millions of tonnes to nothingness, and everything will be seen and revealed to your eyes. You will have been one with the universe in the most pure aspect.

It is a very painful and long process, and Buddhists spend their lives attempting to achieve this incredulous feat., but unfortunately it seems it is never destined to happen for them. This may seem like a failed attempt, but the concept itself is a trick!

The Buddha designed this system of Nirvana not only because it was possible, but it was so the world could live in peace and prosperity for eternity. You do not need to achieve Nirvana, per se (at least for every individual), you just need to live the Dharma to help shape the world into a massive sanctuary in itself.

The Dharma is the path that you design and create to achieve the state of pure humble ingenuity. It is limitless in what you can create, and in English we would call this path "your set of morals". In it's most simple form, the Dharma is your own creation of morals for you to follow that will inherit the thirst for Nirvana. By creating this system, Gautama believed that the world would live to be a better place and last for eternity, because no life would have gone in vein if their own efforts were to better themselves and end suffering as we know it.

It all starts somewhere, and it is the acknowledgement of your surroundings and respect for every aspect of life that will put you on your own path.
