Life is a good teacher and a good friend; things are always changing. That off-center state we feel with change is the ideal situation where we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. That state is a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state.
It is our own experiences that are our ultimate teachers. We should engage in society and activities of the world and constantly test ourselves against the flux of circumstances. This way you can confirm your thoughts and compensate for your shortcomings.
Life is a competition with everybody and everything. In competition, we want our opponents to be at their best. It’s not that you don’t want to compete, but you want to do it in the spirit of play. In this way you are like a child at play, in harmony with life.
It is difficult to bring quiet to the heart. Being still when its time to be still and going forward when it is time; in this way rest and movement agree, this will help quiet the heart. We cannot force quiet and calmness, but they must develop naturally out of state of inner composure.
