What kind of a life is a well-lived life?





What kind of a life is a well-lived life? 






The way for a person to live well 
is being absent of his mind 
and act according to Nature's flow. 


Nature's flow is of its own accord. 
Nature's flow is as it is. 
it is only when man lives absent of his mind 
that he too could be of Nature's flow. 


To do as your body naturally does is the flow of nature. 


What this means is,
if he were to become bound to a certain thought, 
he would be unable to see it the right way 
thus, he couldn't act accordingly.

 
Such thoughts are what confines him, 
he is bound to his karma and habits.
 

When man eliminates his life, his shape - his body-
is able to act of its own accord 
according to Nature's flow.

 
Do not worry about life and living well; 
instead, try living absent of your mind. 


When you are absent of mind, 
your body will naturally be able to act 
according to Nature's flow. 


Just as the planets have no purpose, will, or thought 
but live by their own ability for self-existence, 
so can you. 


The difference between acts 
that stem from man's thoughts 
and the ability for self-existence is 
that thoughts enslave man 
- they keep him bound - 

while the ability for self-existence 
is a thing that is of itself 
and is of Nature's flow. 


This ability for self-existence has 
no hindrances, hang-ups, or conflicts 
and so one's life would be smooth sailing.
