The Fourth Noble Truth - Marga Part One

[Susthama]

[Katrien Sercu]

Thanks Dharmavidya: your words are clear and simple and The path is clear, sincere and simple...but it is often difficult to be clear and simple! We (I am) are so far away from a natural state in the busy life with work. Life in our 'normal' society is so full of impressions, stress, rush, excitement, duty, seduction...it takes me with and...sometimes I awake....The Nembutsu gives this natural state but my and our and human overactivity bury this natural state.. until a new moment of awakening during work, driving the car, shopping, talking...
Today, I was home, alone, quiet, the doors wide open, birds, wind, sun, easy homework, practice, love for life, Namo Amida Bu that comes spontaneous...a wholesome natural state. Then noble taughts, words and deeds come naturaly, without effort.
So I have faith in The path, in Marga and I see that I have to create the right conditions for me and others so that this natural state is possible. This is a prerequisite for the fourth noble Truth, I think. Is this necessary self-power to become open to allow Other-power, until it becomes a daily attitude, with noble tauhgts, words and deeds in imperfection?
