When we reflect upon ourselves, what we are thinking, what we are doing in our daily life, we know our ignorance. Ignorance of life, ignorance of ourselves, ignorance of others, ignorance of nature, ignorance of everything. Most of us do not even know what is happening to us tomorrow, how our destiny is changing in one year, and when our death is coming to us. We do not even know how to keep our health, how to be joyous and how to become happy. We do not even know what we should eat, how we should breathe, what we should think, and how we should speak. We do not know whether what we think is real, is true, and whether what we think good, is truly good. It is an endless dilemma and continues disappointment when we know what we wish to achieve, and produce the opposite result. We do not know why we came to this world, or what we should do in our life. WE are always ignorant, and the more we learn, the more we become ignorant, To know that we are ignorant is the beginning of our awareness of what life is, and the beginning of our understanding of what we are. Our way of life, which guides us upwards-true happiness, comes from deep reflection that we are ignorant. Because we are ignorant, we have to surrender unconditionally to the order of the universe and the new era of the way we should be living our lives and the way we should be eating. Because this will reflect towards our conditionings and towards our future. Because we are ignorant, we have to accept whatever happens around us as our responsibility. Because we are ignorant, we have to adapt to our surroundings and environment. Being humble and modest by making ourselves the last, even to the extent that we are nothing, is the shortest way to have complete freedom of life.
