A Human Being who lives a simple life does not shop so much. He takes care of what he has and has joy from it. The simple heart is always free to not have what it treasures because it knows that the freedom and ability to let go are greater treasure. A simple life is fluid, never looks back, and therefore is never turned into salt.
 
As you live a simple life, you are like a cow who grazes. And so you graze in life. The grass is green wherever you graze.
 
Simplify your life now. Walk into the horizon without cumbersome details. You, who wish to lead a simpler life, require little, or nothing at all, because wherever you walk, I walk with you, and, so, you have all you need. You have more than you need. You don’t need the fear and worry you carry with you. You don’t need a sense of security either because I am your security.

{BIG sigh}

Living a simple life is such a great relief. Leading a simple life, you have untied yourself from all the little boundaries, all the must have’s, all the extraneous.

{BIGGER sigh}

You become like a wayfarer who plays his fiddle along the way. You don’t have big pockets. You may have none, and you stroll through life, not as a homeless one, but as one at Home.

{Really BIG sigh}

The idea of a simple liefe has always held considerable appeal. Only now do I understand why. In joy, and I'm not speaking of relative happiness but of the joy of knowing oneness, there is nothing missing, nothing to crave. There is complete fulfillment. Its presence can be felt, even if I don't "have" it yet. Need is unknown there, the thought of acquiring or achieving anything is unthinkable. There is a love so full that it leaves no space for anything, not for thoughts, not for plans, nor for projects, not for wants or needs. In God immersion, my agendas big and small are nonexistent. I have been keeping my distance from Your arms, my God. When everyone you ever knew did it, you naturally get the impression it's the thing to do. It's not a good idea. Ah, to have no pockets.
