xygen, water, food, sunlight, day
                                       and night: your body needs these
                                      elements.  And along with these,
                                   there are beauties which your soul
                     finds pleasure in such as a beautiful view, a pleasant

                     face to look at, or a welcoming home.
                          The world is full of such blessings, but some peo-
                     ple are just not aware of them. They are so caught up
                     in their own troubles that they don't see the wonders
                     of the world. The reason for this negative spiritual
                     state is their life remote from God's religion, and their
                     state of disbelief. A troubled life is the inescapable re-
                     sult of a life not lived according to religious morals.
                          The approach which may be hoped to please God

                     is that we see all the blessings of the Earth as His gifts
                     to us, and that we live our lives in a state of thanks to
                     Him. A person who lives according to this morality
                      will take pleasure from the wonders and blessings
                         from God, and will feel them every moment
                                   of his or her life.
