In life it never is about producing more and more - but about doing all with love
Speed of work is of last priority - to work with love and to make happy by the products of our work is the only priority in eternal life
Whatever you do with love can easily be done mostly by hand. If all mankind focus on love, on making happy, on producing highest and safest services and products, then we all have abundance of all we need to be really happy. If profit, career and other selfish goals prevail, then even the greatest and most sophisticated machinery never can create social peace among mankind or feed our all hunger - our hunger for love!
Modern farming however does allow us to use helpful machinery to facilitate our work in farming. However we have to apply common sense and sound judgment about what is useful and helpful in machinery and what modern machinery creates excessive expense, pollution and even worst destroys out peaceful silence in nature.
Working like here in a clean natural rice field is a peaceful work that allows you to feel God's presence, to pray to God while working or just to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the scenery. While loud cities may one day get boring or illmaking - the natural beauty remains an eternal pleasure for your eyes, heart and soul.
