| From Ilchi Lee’s book The Twelve Enlightenments
I recall seeing a sign in a national park. It read, “Please take with you what you brought and leave what was here already.” This should be the basic axiom when dealing with Earth. Earth is not ours to do as we please. We have just been granted temporary stewardship of Earth. We did not purchase Earth with money. What we can attain during our time on Earth is not more land nor higher skyscrapers but inner maturity. We have been granted permission to use the grand “toy,” the whole of the natural environment, from the trees, forest, seas, air, and earth, as tools to facilitate our inner maturity. This is why we have a responsibility to return the toy to its rightful place in its original condition. Such awareness should be the basic minimum that guides our actions. |
