Where we are going is unknown, where we have been we can see clearly. The moment-by-moment experience, what is happening right now, is where we are going. This is encouraging because the source of wisdom is what is going to happen to us today, in this very moment.
We seek belief systems and philosophies, but true spirituality is far beyond the conception of even the most brilliant human mind. The need to understand this truth is universal because it is the very essence of life itself. It is found only in the here and now.
To cleanse oneself of contaminations, such as anger or self-absorption, practice undiscriminating virtue. To practice virtue, give without limitations, without prejudice, and without expectations. If your willingness to give is limited, so is your ability to receive.
A project still in its beginning that has not been challenged brings no blame, since there has been no opportunity to make mistakes. Remain conscious of the difficulties to be overcome and this will keep you from arrogance and wastefulness.
