Entry #67

"You're a lucky person if you:
1. Have been born a human being, capable of conscious inquiry
2. To have been born with-or to have developed-a yearning to understand nature and the universe
3. To have found a living spiritual master"

I really love this quote, it makes a lot of sense and is spiritually sound to me. A lot of people think that you're lucky if you have a lot of money, or you have a great job, but not the Yogi's. Many people think luck is inanimate, like you're lucky if you never lose your keys, but this quote is much more realistic and true! I mean we are lucky just to have been born a human being with a brain, and the ability to be curious and ask question. We are lucky to just be alive, everything else is just crass. I mean people often over look how good we have it just being here on Earth. People can complain about a bad haircut or ugly makeup but there are people out there that have it a lot worse, we should be happy and lucky just to be breathing. I mean sometimes I feel like its a miracle how many healthy people are born everyday- we are lucky to be alive. I also like how these Indian spiritual masters center their luck around the Earth, nature and the universe. I appreciate that and share that as well. I think that if we would all have a connection to nature we'd have a much healthier Earth and a much more peaceful world. But when people focus on money and being the best and making the most things they forget about your Earth. They neglect nature, and without it we would cease to exist.
