On a walk one day, Harold Klemp, spiritual leader of Eckankar and author of this book, met a Japanese gardener. The gardener lived in a humble house surrounded by a beautiful lawn graced with glorious plant life and greenery. The gardener explained that when he purchased his home, it suffered from neglect. Since that time, he remodeled everything and turned the lawn into a showplace. "His eyes filled with light and love as he looked around," says the author. "You could see he put his whole heart into taking care of the place."Harold Klemp concludes this story by saying the Japanese gardener "had the humility, the humor, and the golden heart which is needed for anyone who ever hopes to reach the higher levels of realization. This is the cloth from which God Consciousness can be cut."Pressured by problems, fears, and irritations, we insulate ourselves from the harsh world around us.
