Three-fourths of every human body is water. Water! Where there is harmony there is life. Excess water causes one's bowels to loosen. A lack of water demands water be supplied. It is water which sustains the human body temperature at a constant 36.7 degree Celsius. It controls the whole of life, doesn't it? For this reason water is absolutely indispensable. In this aspect, what are you? Drifting water vapor! Water vapor. Water vapor. All water vapor is a vagabond. It is very fortunate that God is incorporeal. We have to be thankful for that. We are beneficiaries of the Sun, yet we never thank it. Do we say, "Mr. Sun, thank you," in token of gratitude? We live daily just ignoring especially our great debts. How much would we pay for one liter of air if it were the last air in the world? If God were a rascal it would be easy for Him to unite the world. It would not take more than six minutes. God would evacuate all the air in the world, and ask people if they would unite or not. Then they would say, "We will unite!" in unison. He could have united the world instantly if He chose such a way. Thanks be unto God that He does not put that possibility into action. We cannot live without air. Air is an absolutely indispensable element in our lives. Do we thank so important element as air? We eat it up like a thief. Do we not? Three-fourths of our bodies is water. The human body is like a water bag. Do we, the debtors, gratefully thank water? How thirsty does one become en route when one rides a bicycle along a mountain ridge on a hot summer day. There are usually orchards there along a mountain ridge. Just think how pleasant the taste of a cup of water being offered would be. It is worth millions of dollars. After drinking such water one might thank the one who provided the water, but hardly anyone thanks water. Does anyone say, "Thank you, Mr. Water?" No, they don't do it. And again, how precious is sunlight? Without the sun everything would be frozen to death instantly. We never feel grateful to the sun, regardless of how precious and important it is for sustaining our lives. We receive all of these precious things free. Water, air and sunlight, they are the most precious.
