Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I want to post some Farmers Pics ! how do i do that ??? Murali, *Farmers* Plain country folk with rounded bodies, Skin turning to bronze in the valley heat. Why talk to them about Tao? They eat when they are hungry, They sleep when they are sleepy. Even a sage with infinite permutations Could not match their simplicity. Do you want to know about simplicity? Go live with farmers. Their daily activities are coordinated with the seasons, they are close to the earth, and they do not spend their time figuring out how to attain status. They are honest and plain. They make no distinction between who they are as individuals and who they are as farmers. Those of us who live in cities would be hard pressed to equal the farmer in simplicity. Simplicity, after all, is what Tao most celebrates. Who needs to know all the digits of pi? Who needs to engineer a new monetary policy? Who needs to strive for political office? None of these things is necessary to be a human being. Give up unnecessary things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
