IMPENDULO: INDODA

Ubuhlakani buzibonakalisa emthethweni nasekuhlelekeni kuyo yonke imvelo ngokulandelana okujwayelekile kwemini nobusuku kanye nezinkathi zonyaka. Izidalwa zomhlaba, zamanzi, nomoya zilalela iziqondiso zazo ezingokwemvelo, ngasinye ngokohlobo lwaso. Ukuhleleka kugcwele yonke indawo—ngaphandle komuntu. Phakathi kwezinto ezikhona, umuntu uyimpicabadala. Sonke isidalwa kungancika kuso ukuthi senze ngokwemvelo yaso, ngaphandle komuntu. Ngeke kushiwo ngokuqiniseka ukuthi yini umuntu azokwenza noma angeke ayenze. Akukho mkhawulo ongabekwa ekukhuphukeni kwakhe ezindaweni eziphakeme eziphakeme, futhi asikho isilo esingacwila ekujuleni kokonakala komuntu. Unomusa futhi unobubele; futhi unonya futhi akanasihawu. Unothando futhi uyabacabangela abanye; nokho uyazonda futhi uyaphanga. Umuntu ungumngane nesitha kuye nakumakhelwane wakhe. Ezincisha ukunethezeka, uzonikela ngamandla akhe ekwehliseni ububi nezinkathazo zabanye, nokho akekho udeveli wemfundiso yenkolo ongaqhathaniswa nobunya bomuntu.

Esebenza kanzima ekuqaleni ngobuhlungu nokuswela ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane nasezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane ngomzamo ongapheli, umuntu wakha impucuko enkulu—bese eyibhubhisa. Esebenza ezikhathini zobumnyama bokukhohlwa uyavela kancane kancane futhi aphinde avuse enye impucuko—nayo, ngokufanayo, ayicishayo. Futhi njalo uma edala uyabhubhisa. Kungani? Ngoba ngeke ayithukulule imfumbe futhi azazise indida ukuthi uyini. Udonsa ekujuleni okungaqondakali kanye nokuphakama okungakatholakali koBuyena bakhe obungaphakathi ukuze akhe kabusha umhlaba futhi agubuzele esibhakabhakeni, kodwa uhlehla ehlulwe kunoma yimuphi umzamo wokungena endaweni yoBuyena bakhe obungaphakathi; kulula kuyo ukudiliza izintaba akhe imizi. Lezi zinto uyakwazi ukuzibona futhi azibambe. Kodwa akakwazi ukucabanga indlela yakhe eya ku-Self yakhe, njengoba ecabanga ukuthi angawakha kanjani umgwaqo ehlathini noma emhubheni onqamula intaba noma agudle umfula.

Ukuze azi ngaye ngokwakhe, futhi ajwayelane naye, kumelwe acabange. Akayiboni intuthuko uma ezama ukucabanga ukuthi uyini ngempela. Khona-ke isikhathi sibi futhi uyesaba ukubuka enqabeni yenkohliso yakhe aze abe yedwa ne-Self yakhe engaphelelwa yisikhathi.

Uzihlalele emicabangweni yakhe abuye azikhohlwe. Uyaqhubeka nokudonsa ku-Self yakhe engaziwa izithombe akha kuzo, izibusiso nezinhlupho azisakaza emazweni angaphandle; futhi uyaqhubeka nokudala izinto ezikhohlisayo ezibonakala zingokoqobo futhi azizungezile. Kunokuba abhekane nomsebenzi owesabekayo futhi axazulule impicabadala, umuntu uzama ukubaleka, abaleke aye emisebenzini yezwe, futhi ukwenza ibhizinisi lakhe ukudala nokubhubhisa.
