By now you know that opening your windows doesn’t cool your engine. If you don’t, you may be in for a dismal surprise.
In the old days, we used to carry a water bag slung on the front of the car when crossing the desert. But with modern technology all that is no longer possible. And only the rich have hood ornaments these days.
So as usual it is the poor who are left to fend for their lives, and who get their spirits overheated in the desert of everyday living. Without a water bag for your spirit, it is difficult to maintain the purity of the 30-weight of your soul.
The soul, brethren and sistren is the lubrication of your being. Even verily as the air blowing through your radiator is the spiritual force of the Universe keeping you cool.
If your radiator is clogged, the air still blow through it, but it does not have the effect of lowering the temperature. In this way, you develop a spiritual fever which can forever keep you swollen and sore.
And how can the thread of your life pass through the eye of a needle if you are swollen with the heat of spiritual malaise?
Pride does you no good in the heat of the moment, and humility only leads to discontent, just as a clogged oil filter indicates a polluted soul. And if the oil of your soul is polluted, it becomes easy to lose your bearings.
I’ve been there. You’ve been there. Who hasn’t?
But that is not the point I wanted to make. The point is that even though the water in you radiator does not touch the spiritual force of the Universe, you are still on the road, and the road is on its way, and the Highway of Enlightenment is on the horizon, and the drinks are on you.
Many are the roadhouses, and abundant is the air.
