There was a time when people dreamed of acquiring a higher education, degrees, status, becoming directors, and earning more and more. But what was the purpose behind all that movement?
Today, more and more people have begun to feel the futility behind such pursuits. Even though people still engage in sports, climb mountains, compete in fashion or entertainment, that too will eventually fade. Why? It is because we are slowly reaching a point where we no longer find meaning in external accomplishments.
Eventually, everything artificial will fall away. Humanity will calm down. What will happen then? We will simply begin to relate to each other calmly in ways that do not bring pressures of ambition or other pains to people.
What does it mean to “relate to each other calmly”? It means living with an emotional calmness that does not involve stirring up hatred or discomfort in other people. In such a way, we would work, earn a living, and live our lives, and we would have the time and inner space to observe the world and to learn how to exist in it harmoniously.
The demand for more—more money, bigger houses, a pool in the yard—will dissolve. We will begin to understand that living authentically happens not in accumulation, but in developing the right inner attitude toward others. That is the real movement we will come to: an inner one.
When we feel that we treat others kindly, and we feel the same attitude coming back to us from them, this mutual emotional field will form a positive and warm connection between us. We will live in it, and it will become our reality, occupation, and fulfillment. We need nothing else.
Moreover, when we share this common tendency, then we will feel how it requires no special effort. That is the key. Treating each other well should happen effortlessly and naturally. Everything will then settle down.
When we speak of overcoming egoism, of rising above it, we are not talking about great struggles. There is no need for extreme effort. It is quite the opposite, that if we relate to others in a way that resembles nature’s giving tendency, then nature itself, which is in absolute rest, will do everything. Our role in this process is simply not to interfere. Nature itself will finish the work for us.
We are reaching times when there will be no more need for universities like Harvard and Yale, or second and third degrees. Humanity built that entire structure solely in order to realize how mistaken it was. Today, we are nearing the realization of those mistakes.
What will come instead? A peaceful, inner, and mutual balance between us. Moreover, a complete and calm connectedness will become revealed in that connection. In the stillness of those internal waters, we will begin to see through them and start to feel nature’s pure quality of love and bestowal.
As it is written in the Torah, “it is preferable to sit and do nothing.” That does not mean being lazy. Instead, it means that in doing nothing harmful, in interfering with nothing, we gain everything. We will come to see that such a life is indeed possible.
We will still have all of our life’s essentials, and we will work to the extent we need to. But it will not feel like labor. Instead, it will feel like a meaningful engagement. A life of suffering and stress in traffic jams will dissolve entirely.
Then, a new thought will begin to enter humanity’s heart: “What I have is enough. I don’t need more.” This is where nature is leading us. In that calmness, the next level of existence will reveal itself.
