Maha Yogi once met an obese young boy who could not stand the thought of any menial task, even if it was house-keeping. This boy had been lazy all his life and could not even touch his toes with his fingers. He could not physically bend.
He was depressed and morose, and seek Yogi's counsel, I am always unhappy he complained, the world is always bothering me, he complained.
Maha Yogi asked him to segregate the waste bin in his home into trash recyclables and organic waste and dispose of them accordingly, he instructed him on how to compost the organic waste for use in the garden and requested him to flush the toilet with a self-cleaning additive.
The young boy, just could not stand the thought of housekeeping and forced his mother to do the tasks for him, a week later he returned to Yogi, complaining that he was still morose and unhappy, then Yogi asked him if he had completed the house-keeping chores? He replied it was too menial for him!
Yogi then explained the need for the dignity of labor and how simple chores with cleanliness was also a way to God-realization. Yogi and the boy actually worked on a garden plot and planned and planted trees, it was a new world to the boy, and his life changed forever with the green touch. Something magical dawned, and his life changed, there were happiness and good karma.
The next time you expect a miracle in life, just hug a spiritual tree, and in your breath will merge magic, the magic of intelligence, ennui, and morosity will vanish, and a higher happiness index will emerge. Maybe electricity and A.I are part of a trees life too!
