We often complicate life unnecessarily, as if meaningful achievement demands struggle, complexity, or endless toil. But nature whispers a different truth: greatness comes effortlessly when it aligns with the laws that govern Creation. Birds do not struggle to fly, they simply fly. The Earth does not strain to rotate, it simply turns. And in the same way, we can live fully, act rightly, and pursue our desires without harming others effortlessly if we embrace simplicity.
The truth is uncomfortable for many: what is not inherently simple will never endure. True power, real nobility, and lasting success emerge only where focus is undiluted, where effort is concentrated, and where action flows from clarity rather than confusion. Every achievement, every enduring structure, every form of greatness rests on a single principle: simplification.
All too often, we overlook this. Complexity fascinates us; we assume the work of life must be intricate, difficult, and hard to attain. So we scatter our energies, split our attention, and obscure our thinking with unnecessary layers. The result? Confusion, frustration, and the slow collapse of what could have been magnificent.
But simplicity is not weakness. On the contrary, it is the source of strength. When we strip away the artificial and the superfluous, we discover clarity, naturalness, and power all intertwined. Children understand this instinctively. Calm, clear, and unburdened, their perception is immediate and precise. The world, for all its complexity, becomes accessible, navigable, and full of potential when approached with simplicity.
The lesson for life, for work, and for personal growth is clear: greatness does not reside in struggle or in elaborate schemes. It lies in alignment with what is natural, in focusing on the essential, in acting with intention, and in cultivating clarity of thought.
It is simplicity that is identical with clarity and also with naturalness! One cannot exist without the others. Therefore, simplicity, clarity, and naturalness form a triad that expresses a single, unified concept. Make this triad the foundation of your search, and everything else will naturally follow.
So, look carefully around you. The tools, the path, and the wisdom you seek are not distant or hidden. They are already within reach, waiting for you to recognise them. Move forward calmly, without haste, and embrace the elegance of the simple. In that simplicity, you will find strength, freedom, and greatness that endure.
May we have the courage to embrace simplicity; the clarity to see what truly matters and the naturalness to act in harmony with the Laws of Creation. Through this alignment, we connect with real power, the Law of the Power of Every Simplification.
