The Power Within Us from “The Path” by Konosuke Matsush*ta

The path of life for some people may appear to stretch our smooth and wide; for others it seems to be a rugged road of many ups and downs. The way people view life differs greatly from one to another.
In our daily lives, we hardly think of life as going forward smoothly. It appears to be full of ups and downs and twists and turns. For every difficulty we tackle and overcome, another lies ahead. There is no time to gaze about or even catch our breath before we face the next challenge. Indeed, our daily lives are witness that this, indeed, is the nature of life itself.
One wonders, however, how the lives of human beings appear from the viewpoint of the divine. Could it be that, in the larger scheme of things, what appears to us to be constant turmoil and trouble is actually quite a smooth and even way? Have our lives, which ought to have unfolded without trouble, been rendered rough and tumble, up and down, our of our own shortcomings and shortsightedness?
Eventually we will see life for what it really is. In the meantime we can merely make our way earnestly, as best we can. It is this commitment to the power within us that lights the path of our lives, whether the way be rough or smooth.
