When you open up to change, and the impermanence of your own being, and that of reality, you increase your capacity to care about others and not to be afraid. You’re able to keep your mind and heart open and then you will start to do things differently.
Tradition gives you support for your endeavors, but you must be capable of manifesting your traditions in a contemporary setting. If you are an expert in some ancient tradition, you must be able to manifest the power of that tradition today. If you cannot there is no reason to keep it.
Does one thing appeal to you more than another? If so, then your mind is separated. Keep your mind free of divisions and distinctions. When your mind is detached, simple and quiet, then all things exist in harmony. This way you begin to perceive the subtle truth.
If you encounter hinderances at the beginning of an enterprise, do not try to force advance, but pause and take thought. Do not let anything put you off your course; persevere and keep your goal in sight. When there is a hinderance, sometimes relief will come from an unexpected source.
Quote: We have all the power to create the changes we choose.
