“Live simply so that others may simply live” --Mahatma Gandhi

When our lives are simple, we are more secure within ourselves and therefore able to let go of the many internal complications of achievement, praise or external search for experience and fulfilment, and we begin to live from a place of inner peace. With simplicity our life’s journey becomes less chaotic as we gain more control over ourselves and begin to rediscover and enjoy anew the ‘simple pleasures of life’.

Simplicity of dress is a mark of purity, simplicity of food brings good health, and simplicity of environment means cleanliness and stability. With simplicity, we return to the innocence of the child: our intellect and heart pure and therefore full of clarity.

Nature is simple and is governed by a few basic laws and principles. Similarly spirituality is governed by basic laws and principles so that when we understand and live in accordance with them we live in harmony with all that is around and within us.

This is the proof that our lives are meant to be simple. We only need basic food and shelter to survive, yet we seem to habitually and compulsively acquire, accumulate and therefore complicate our lives. Initially we enjoy all this, while at heart yearn for the simplicity of the past.

Returning to simplicity becomes the platform from which we can launch a new trend of ‘high values and simple living’. So let us rebuild our lives with this aim. Not just to live simply that others can live but so that we ourselves can live truly, at the same time inspiring others.

Internal and external simplicity are the indication of strength, depth, stability and happiness - key ingredients to inner peace. Those who live with these qualities can discern the truth and they recognise that all that glitters is not gold.

Om Shanti
(I am a peaceful soul)

3. Beautiful Day Blues By Ridgely Goldsborough
The massive orb dominates the aqua crystalline backdrop of its own making, floods its rays on everything below. The sky devoid of a single cloud seems as empty as I feel and the beach looks like an arid desert, molded by tireless wind and blazing heat. I picture myself atop an Arabian camel, parched with thirst, crossing an unforgiving series of never-ending dunes, up one and down the next, no rhyme nor reason, only the nose of the animal in …
