1.
Many the problems involved
in the realm of decisions and
judgements
Many
specific dilemmas appear,
the confront individuals.
People, who
have understanding,
facilitate human relations.
Basically
three types of questions
arise for our consideration:
How to
provide for each other, the
needs of the one, and the many;
How to
conceive and develop new
impulses and apply talents.
How to
respect rights of groups, and deal
fairly with people’s intentions.
Motives
are not always pure, so that
selfishness, greed and ambition
Often
impede growth of freedom,
economy, spirit and justice.
Other
dilemmas involve situations
that newly approach us.
In all the
regions of human endeavour
we need transformation.
People who,
speaking together, seek
answers, and certain solutions.
Might well
observe how the plant
metamorphoses its generation –
How it
proceeds to build up to a
rhythmical process of growing.
2. Now
let the seed of perception be
kindled, becoming awakened
First to the
facts of the matter,
involving description and
statements.
This is like
stretching out roots, to
discover which angles are offered.
What is the
lay of the land? Do the
facts all remain near the surface?
Must we
research a bit deeper to
penetrate all the dimensions?
In such a
way do the questions, which
may tend to cause consternation,
Live in a
process of change, a
methodical path of discovery.
3. Once
all the facts have been gathered,
an effort of will shall be needed.
Thoughts and
ideas emerge, bearing light
to continue the questing.
Mutual
sharing of concepts and facts, can
bring forth contemplation.
Certainly
there’s a relation involving
both giving and taking;
Just as the
seedling can thrive by
exchanging its balancing forces,
Constantly
regenerating first roots,
and then new growth of foliage.
Always go
back to the roots, which
evoke the new thoughts meant to
ponder.
Once the
ideas unfold, as the leaves’
round the theme of a question;
Balance
begins to take place, like the
burgeoning structure of plant life.
What are the
qualities viewed? What
patterns of thought are apparent?
Do they
arise on one stem which may
point to the needed solution?
Or do they
branch out in tangents, like
bushes, with various aspects.
Patience
is needed, for not all the
thoughts will eventually ripen.
Positive
discrimination will weed out
unthinkable error.
4.Following
step after step, one arrives
at the transformation.
Building up
trains of clear thought, the right
goal or objective approaches.
This is the
budding solution, decision,
or determination.
Burning to
open the field, and to offer
incentive for action.
Now, to
unfold the ideals, and
pursue the decision’s potential…
Doubts may
appear, quite like rain clouds: can
such high ideals become real?
Weather
this downpour as well like a
flower that blooms to effulgence;
Colourful
after the rain, determined
to live in the meadow!
5. Just
as the petals spread out to
reveal to the bee, sensing nectar,
Where it may
centre its efforts, allowing
the fertilization,
Action of
nature’s survival – to follow its
course to fruition;
So may a
certain extension be needed
to find ways and manners.
Technical
means of assistance may help
carry through the decision.
Then comes
the moment of triumph the
fruiting of composite efforts.
When one can
say that the deed is
accomplished; the problem’s been
conquered.
Something
new lives in the world for a
working solution exists now;
Has been
devised or invented to care
for the problem’s recurrence –
Be it a
law, or a system, a
community plan or endeavour
Or a
solution affecting an
individual’s problem.
Root, leaf
and flower, and fruit have
provided an organized outlook,
Models
from which to proceed to
retrace the essential procedure.
6. Seeds
are inherent in fruits; and
recorded within their existence,
All of the
steps are entailed which
imprint their essential
progression.
So, in the
solving of problems, in each
of those participating,
Mutual
memory pictures exist,
metamorphosing talents:
Faculties
to do the research, have
thoughts and arrive at decisions.
These,
carried out to fruition can
help evolve human existence.
