I read story that told of a woman named Sono, whose devotion and purity of heart were respected far and wide. One day a Buddhist man asked: “What can I do to put my heart to rest?” Sono said, “Every morning and every evening, and when-ever anything happens to you, keep on saying, ‘Thank you for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever”. The man did so for one year, but his heart was still not at peace. He told Sono that his life had not changed, and that he was the same selfish person as before. Sono immediately said, “Thank you for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever.”On hearing these words, the man was able to open his spiritual eye, and he returned home with a great joy.
Sometimes, restlessness is a condition that can take our peace of mind and soul. It is important to remember that observing yourself and outside conditions can help us take action to do better things about it. Also, it is important to remember that we are not alone in this journey called life. Let’s be grateful for the life we have today and be aware of those who desire to be a support to us, accepting us just as we are.
