Contemplation in action
 ーIn relation with othersー

[23] Trying to organize all matters and events in clean manner

 We have many matters and events in our life. They seem to occur and come to us miscellaneously, but no such matters and events are meaningless.
 Of course, we have freedom to choose. It is natural to make choices in an appropriate manner and relate with these matters and events in an organized way as a human being.
 But things are sometimes complicated and difficult.
 Even in such a complicated and difficult situation, it is important to relate to each matter and event carefully. 
 For “contemplation in action,” it is important to try to be clean and organized about not only what is significant but also what seems trivial and meaningless.
 We can start this with pure heart. While starting like this, we try to maintain the same attitude in the middle and through the end so that we can achieve “purity in pure heart.”
At the same time, we try to organize a matter or event so that it works out well.
 Trying to do so is not quite the same as simply feeling self-satisfied. When we try this, we feel good from the bottom of our heart, but that does not mean that our goal has been achieved.
To “cleanly organize” all matters and events we relate to leads to encounter and interaction with God. God is pure and remains completely organized. We try to be clean and organized because this opens up an important path for those who wish to live in search for God and want to connect with God.
 When we try to cleanly organize all matters and events in every aspect of our daily life, we can open doors for interacting and working in harmony with God. We can sometimes feel fulfilled by breathing in close association with God.
