A Step of Mindfulness

Stepping Mindfully

“Mind your steps”

Nature gave human beings both good (bright) and evil (dark) minds. Together with political influence at all levels, it gradually conditions us to behave selfishly and strive for power in order to satisfy personal needs and benefits. In addition, capitalism is eating away the notion of goodness, justice and truth while taking over the minds of people from all walks of life and heading us towards the Anthropocene age in which the world is ruled by humans through the process of globalization and freedom of the individuals. But because we have the freedom and power to do all things by using our minds and our wisdoms, we should live our lives mindfully and wisely. This implies being conscious of the mind at all times in order to create a mental map for taking steps on the path towards lasting happiness and peace in life that is always mindful and respectful of nature and her laws. This is the essence of a meaningful life. “The most important values in life are truth, beauty, and dharma. Therefore human intelligence must have the passion for truth, appreciation of beauty, and virtue in thoughts and actions.”
