While living in the mountains, I saw that old farmers could predict both rain and sunshine, being right seven or eight times out of ten. I asked them how they did it, but they said it was only practical experience. If you ask people living in the cities, they don't understand this. Since I had plenty of leisure time, I usually rose early in the morning, and then with an empty mind concentrated on the beauty of the fields, trees, rivers, mountains and clouds and I found that I could predict the weather right seven or eight times out of ten. Then I realized that in quietness the universe can be observed, the inner moods felt and real truth obtained. |
