Precisely How All Humans Completely Waste Their Lives

Imagine a man

That has a terrible cough.

 

The cough varies

From day to day.

And year to year.

 

Some days

The cough becomes so bad

That he vomits blood.

 

Some days

The cough becomes so harsh

That he becomes light-headed

And cannot think straight.

 

Over the years

The experts have given him many treatments.

 

The blue pill

The red pill

The yellow syrup

The green syrup

And so on . . .

 

Some days

The blue pill lessens the cough

For a few hours.

 

Other days

The yellow syrup

Alleviates his symptoms

For an afternoon.

 

He tosses between

Each of them.

 

This is how his life goes

Until the day of his death.

 

On the day of his death,

With his final gasping breaths,

He prays,

“Lord, all of my life I have suffered from this cough. It has consumed my entire life. And naturally, I had to use the various treatments and methods I was given simply to make it through the hours. But before I die, perhaps you can grant me one wish. Kindly grant me the wish of knowing exactly the true cause of this cough. No treatments, no managements, no improvements, no methods. I’ve been dealing with those all my life. And I’m dealing with thousands of experts. One telling me that it’s from this, another telling me it’s from that. Before I die, I simply wish to know the exact cause of this cough. Before I die, I simply wish to know The Truth about this.”

 

Imagine that The Lord

In his wisdom and mercy replied,

“A mile and a half to the south of your house lives an old man. The old man burns his garbage each Tuesday. He has a habit of eating a particular oil. When he burns the cans of that oil, the chemical in that oil is released into the smoke that arises from his yard. The prevailing wind in your part of the country is to the North. The smoke is slight by the time it reaches you. Practically invisible to the naked eye. That smoke, and the oil that it carries, has caused you the cough for all these years. If you had moved even a quarter mile south of him, or to a different location altogether, your life would have been completely different. This was The Truth that you never came to realize. Not necessarily by any fault of your own.”

 

Man suffers from various elements.

Anxieties

Conflicts

Confusion

Indecision

Insecurities

Fear

Worries

Dilemmas

Failures

Struggles

A massive and unbearable load . . .

And a constant stream of problems . . .

Throughout birth to adolescence to adulthood to old age to death.

 

All of his life

He follows the prescriptions

Of the experts.

 

Chasing one method

After another.

 

Suffering one ailment

After another.

 

Never curing Anything.

Never being given the True Cause

Of anything.

 

At this moment

There are many smokestacks

1.5 miles from every man’s house.

 

At this exact moment

There are many Truths

That are available and Ready

For him.

 

A slight adjustment

Would solve most to all of his problems.

 

And he would Have

What he has always sought.

 

He would live

The way that Nature intended

For him to live.

 

Free

As Nature itself.

 

Free

Of an ocean of problems.

 

Because he never walks the steps

Toward those Truths . . .

 

Because he is never informed

Of the old man and the smokestack . . .

 

He complete wastes

The opportunity that this life provides.

 

He lives in ways

That Nature never intended for him to live.

 

For the life that he lives

Is so irreversibly consumed

And saturated by

The advice he has been given

And the beliefs he has imbibed,

He has neither the time or the opportunity

To look anywhere else.

 

He runs closer and closer

Toward the edge of the cliff

Each day of his life.

 

Precisely where the experts

And the ways of society

Have led him.

 

The Truth does not care

If man comes to it or not.

 

For The Truth

Has Everything.

And needs nothing.

 

Unless a human

Is willing to give everything for it

He cannot have it.

 

It does not stand to any logic or reason

That he should not be willing to give anything for it.

For what can he possibly have

Without it.

 

Truth

Is the only thing

That Works.

And works consistently.

 

That is why

It is . . . The Truth.

 

Without it

It is a life of lies.

 

Thus,

A life of problems.

 

Thus,

A tragically wasted life.

 

Namaste.
