We mostly spend life conjugating three verbs:
to Want,
to Have
and to Do.
Craving, clutching and fussing, on the material, political, social, emotional, intellectual, even on the religious plane,
we are kept in perpetual unrest:
forgetting that none of these verbs have any ultimate significance,
except so far as they are transcended by and included in, the fundamental verb,
to Be:
and that Being,
not wanting, having and doing,
is the essence of the spiritual life.
