Eastern Philosophy

Life bears many mysteries. But maybe it isn't that mysterious after all. You will face the "mystery" when you see it. You will find it without even looking for it.

The philosopy behind the quote means that your life is unchangeable. You cannot change how your life goes, it's just how it is. Once you are born you are already to the part where you will die. You may be young but you will still grow old. Once you commit a sin, forgiveness will be given. Compared to western mentality, this is different because we believe that you can clear out your sins or redeem yourself by doing good deeds. You can change how your afterlife goes by doing good things and praying to God. This quote also means that time is not important and the present is. Life must be kept flowing just as the river in Siddhartha. You should not worry about the obstacles you will face because you will keep on flowing.
