The ancients teach the middle way. This encourages us to feel what we feel and deal with that feeling good or bad, just stay with it. Do not judge what arises in your mind, don’t grasp at it, just let thoughts come and go. This way you stop struggling and discover an unbiased way of being.
Create your own destiny, make all your actions count. You don’t have to follow the path outlined in some mystical teachings; create your own. Use your imagination to cope with the travails of life and realize what you envision. This will bring you happiness.
Any fragment of the mind, apart from heart, spirit, human community, and the natural law of the universe, is going against your own true nature. Cleanse yourself of all the cobwebs and cluttered fragments that paralyze the mind. This way you function as your own holistic healer.
No matter how lowly you feel, if you are ready to be open to change and learning, you will be helped by all. This will enable you to rid yourself of habits and attain a station where you will have fruitful accomplishments and gain recognition.
Quote: Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. – Ovid
