Things Significant and Insignificant ALL things are
insignificant in ordinary life. The thoughts you think, the actions you do, the
feelings you experience, all your movements have no significance at all, they
possess no value. They belong to the superficial part of your being, they come
and pass away, like ripples on the sea, leaving no trace or effect in the
depths. Only at a rare moment, if ever you come in contact with a corner of
your soul, if something of that inmost consciousness touches or gazes at any
limb of yours, that flash of a moment is the only significant thing that
happens in the midst of all the useless mass that is your life. This is the
only precious point and the rest a world of rubbish. To make your life
significant, to give it its true meaning and value, you must then draw back from
the surface trivialities and look for something else behind. You must go very
deep indeed if things are to cease being insignificant.
