Mt. Iwaki

As I woke up in the morning and opened a window of my hotel room in Hirosaki, the marvelous sight of Mt. Iwaki came into my heart that made me realize all at a glance that with great dignity it has always shared all the sadness and pains of people living here. I recalled that when I saw the mountain for the first time from the same hotel, to my great wonder, I sensed that something in my lever was moved and automatically I started to shed tears endlessly. This was the impact of encountering a divine being. I became fully awakened and everything I saw manifested a god. The consciousness of a modern person was artificially formulated by the frameworks of society and became alien to the nature of life. Such a person’s state of consciousness was against Great Being. While my life had infinite potential our society always tried to make me adjust myself to one of its frameworks. I felt very sorry for my being influenced by this force, sometimes taking it as something to follow and restraining my inner potentials of life. Twenty seven years have passed since I started to live a new life true to my innermost wishes and learned the essential laws of life. I had envisioned that each person should live a brilliant life in harmony with nature to create a truly peaceful society so I took the initiative to realize a new way of life and shine brilliantly at the core of my life. As I saw Mt. Iwaki today, I realized that it has always been side by side with people and fully received everything that happened in their life. I was filled with warmth from the depth of my heart, as I realized that life in nature remained unified with our life forever wherever we would be once we had encountered each other sometime in our lives. As I lived unified with life in nature, any sensitivity and tendency of nerves that were against nature were also purified and washed away. I felt extremely grateful. At night in Hirosaki I could hear the sound of a pure stream of water in my life and I found within my life the star-like light coming from the world far beyond ours. Thank you very much.
