It is important not to be swept along by the bustle of life. If you are serious and composed, you will have the clarity of mind needed to come to terms with the innumerable impressions that pour in. At the beginning it is important to have this clarity, the beginning holds the seeds of all that is to follow.
Quote: Search with your heart, not your mind.
