Opportunity And Monopoly
It is absurd to think that opportunity can be monopolized and be taken away from anyone. It is not a commodity that others can grab and fence. This can never be a reason for poverty, there is always a new opportunity opening out for man. You must grasp it as it becomes available. The individual worker must get rid of the idea that he is trapped by ignorance and lassitude common to his group. Once free from this negative feeling he can swim with the tide and ride the crest to riches.
It has been noticed that those who swim with the tide instead of against it are the ones who succeed in getting more opportunities. It has the capability of making a worker into a master for as long as he wishes to be. Such is the power of opportunity. The only secret is you must recognize it and grasp it.
If someone is poor, nature cannot be held responsible for it. The supplies and opportunities of nature are same for everyone. Even if in due course the natural supplies appear to be exhausted, man need not fret over it. The formless will respond to the needs of human beings and new venues of opportunities will open up.Everything in this world originates from one Original Substance, diversifies into many and then goes back into that One. What it gives can be visibly seen to be limitless. But the invisible supply is beyond our comprehension. We can only vaguely sense this inexhaustible source. We see two objects. Between the two there is space that is filled in by the Original Stuff. Nobody is poor because Nature is wanting. The bounty of Nature’s milk overflows.
This Original Substance is throbbing with life’s creative energy ceaselessly producing forms. If materials for buildings run out more will come. If the soil is tired then it will revitalized and more will keep coming to meet man’s need for food and clothing It is the same with gold and silver. If man still feels the need he will knock and the door to wealth will open.
The Formless vibrant substance responds to the cry of Man. It is a thinking being – alive and leaning towards life. Thus man should recognize this generosity of nature and try to benefit from it.
