Life is an expression of our inmost hearts;
Daily conduct is the unceasing manifestation of our inmost hearts.
Therefore, nothing is more important than the way we think and feel.
Why do we pursue the study of nature and human life?
Why do we meditate on what we ourselves are?
It is because we desire to live as men should live.
No matter how rich in intelligence one may be,
Should a ffirm goal in life be lacking,
If one were to live only for the passing days,
Then would it be like a rudderless ship sailing on the sea.
Mankind does not live by itself alone.
Around us are mountains and rivers,
Grass, Trees, and things of every description
In the midst of which we have been given life as men.
Man, originally a part of Mother Nature,
Lives in the natural world
And into the hands of Mother Nature has he placed his life.
With his life entrusted to the profundity of Mother Nature,
It is when he experiences its mysterious mood to the fullest measure
That man is most happily blessed.
