In a documentary I was watching once about the Amish cultiure, a teenage girl was explaining
why teenagers go out on the town, drink, go to bars and clubs and behave in the
wreckless way that they do. The teenage girl said that they basically do that sort
of thing to ‘feel good’, to ‘feel happy’, ‘to enjoy life’.
Then an Amish teenage girl said if I want to feel good and
happy I pray!
How marvelous is that! Here we have the search for the same
value. One seeking it through the outside means of ‘life’ using the wreckless, the
dangerous, drink others etc. and another seeking it through the Being, through
God.
Always the one value can be sought in two ways - duality at
work in creation.
Awakening we are taught is to be able to chose.
There is always a choice, between the internal - the inner Being
and its self-edifying, self-dignifying and renewing means and the outside – ‘life’
with its consuming, exhausting means.
End (2634).
