CHENNAI: The society where we live today has two school of thoughts as far as our standard of living is considered. Some of us feel that “more the merrier”, while the others feel “lesser the better.” There is an indepth meaning to these two approaches towards life. Today majority of us are stuck into the web of fictitiousness that’s created by us. Hence to liberate ourselves from this web, we need to go back to our roots, that taught us to live simple and think high.
Is it feasible to live a simple life in a complicated and confused world? With strong determination, it is possible, because simplicity is our originality, so its not a big deal once we realise from within and get back to our roots.
Simplicity enhances clarity of our perception and frees us from the diversions of desires.
However, there is a common myth among people that if we become simple, then we would be considered stupid or dull. But, we tend to forget a fact that where there is simplicity, there is strength. Unnecessary possessions are considered heavy burdens, that take up a lot of our time and energy. That’s why those who have enough but not too much are the happiest people in the world.
]The classic example of this can be seen through the lives of saints and leaders, who live a simple life. There is nothing mysterious about their motives and methods, but their holiness and greatness stems from an inner purity of purpose which is visible only when there is great simplicity in character. It is only when we decide to probe the unlimited structures that develop from the simple form, we lose sight of the truth and beauty of life. So! Be Simple to Become a Sample, an example for others to follow.
