Our feelings have simply become words. Many times our feelings are not authentic, are not real. They are not coming from the source. When you look at a flower, you don't really feel that it is beautiful. But the mind says, "Oh, this is beautiful". The beauty becomes just a concept rather than a sensation happening within you, an explosion of wonder, and an explosion of beauty within you.
That innocent person of long ago simply had to observe creation to feel and experience beauty. The inner chamber could open very easily. Gratefulness and gratitude could flow rapidly, trust and faith could flower and bloom with not much effort.
Today our door in our innermost chamber is so tightly closed, we have to bang it down. Even when we trust, we trust with a doubt in it. We doubt ourselves. We do not know our own minds. We do not know how we are feeling, what is happening to us. And we have no trust or faith that the whole universe is governed by an unseen consciousness, an unseen power.
An unseen power is maintaining the orderliness in this flower, is maintaining the orderliness in the clouds, the trees, the sun, the moon and the stars. This universe is filled with life, every inch and bit of it. We are living and we see life all around us, but our trust in life is not there. It is simply not there. We don't see the Universe as a living thing.
We see only matter everywhere, objects everywhere. We want to possess more and more objects, we want every object that we don't have. In our eyes only objects appear. We don't see life, the living entity, everywhere.
