What we call obstacles are the way the world and our entire experience teach us where we’re stuck. Whether an obstacle is an enemy or a friend depends on our perception of reality, but really depends on our relationship with ourselves.
If we do not help others, then people will lose faith, so we must take time out of our own self cultivation to inspire others to do their own self cultivation.
The sun rises on the bad as well as the good, the rain falls on the just and the unjust. Nature treats all things equally with generosity and compassion. The mind is full of dreams, delusions and shadows; this causes your life to become chatter and contradiction. Instead keep your mind undivided and let ideas go, just be.
Keep your heart free of prejudices, therefore open to the truths that they represent. If you are gentle and joyous in your actions, this will create a mutual confidence in others, making achievements possible. This confidence must be based on what is right, on steadfastness; this way it will triumph over all obstacles. Inner truth depends on inner stability, from this you will have the correct attitude towards the outer world. Whenever feeling is voiced with truth and frankness, whenever a deed is the clear expression of sentiment, a far-reaching influence is executed.
Quote: Take hardship courageously.
