As the mountain is the physical being, the river is the earthly experiences. The river will always mirror the mountain. The waters will eternally flow to the rhythm of the universe even though the mountain may stay the same. As the mountain changes the water will mirror back it's beauty. Such is that of life.
We think that our happiness lies outside ourselves. When this happens I will be happier. When this person does this I will be happier. So we drive ourselves into depression, unhappiness and controling behaviors trying to force the external world to conform to what we think will bring us all that we seek. In doing this we cause more suffering for ourselves and everyone around us. How are we not all driven mental, right?! The truth is nothing in your external environment will provide you that which you seek. It is all within you. So the only place you can find happiness is by going within yourself. It is only then by being that which you seek, will you then experience it through the people and things outside yourself. Stop the madness people! Through this awareness you can finally find peace and happiness. Everything in this physical existence is flowing energy. The flow cannot stop. It will continue to flow and change even though you cannot see it. Just because nothing appears to be changing doesn't mean the universe isn't changing what is now into what you desire. Just like the river it can be still as glass or the current can be rough and fast but it is still moving.
