Walking Daily Over Buried Treasure
As people who do not know the spot walk daily over buried gold and never find it, so all beings pass over that source-place each day and never notice it.
Among the things I pass daily without notice, what was actually treasure?
📝Reflection
Treasure lies buried underfoot, yet those who do not know the spot walk over it daily and never find it. This image aches because our lives are just so. The most precious things — the person beside us, present health, the peace of an ordinary day — are always underfoot, yet we look only far off and tread over them each day, heedless. Only after losing them do we learn they were treasure. This verse tells us the treasure is not somewhere far but right here now, underfoot. What is needed is not to travel farther but the eye to notice what is beneath our feet.
🌱Apply It Today
Call one thing you take for granted — a person, your health — 'treasure' anew today.
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
