We can let the circumstances of life harden us so that we become more resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kinder and more open to what scares us. We always have that choice.
You should be sensitive to where you situate yourself in the world. Select a place that is known to be conducive to what you want to achieve, then narrow your choice by what you see and feel. Don’t become attached to any one place as the energies will change.
Why scurry about looking for the truth? It is in everything right in front of you. You cannot discover it by accumulating more knowledge, knowledge creates doubt and makes you want more knowledge. Find the subtle truth inside yourself and be content in this knowing.
During the process of development, progress frequently comes to a standstill. There might be an obstruction owing to one’s lack of experience or insufficient strength. In this situation, store up your energy preparing for your next move but remain sincere and truthful.
Quote: Compassion is what connects all things.
