When we feel most stuck, even then we are never separated from the awakened state. When our neurosis feels far more basic than our wisdom, it is there for us. Even ordinary people like us can find this openness of our heart, it is our true nature and condition.
In ancient times people lived in a poetically agrarian view of the world, but we don’t understand these ancient ways. Contemporary minds need contemporary concepts to live by, so don’t rely on old standards. To live life, just rely on your own direct experiences.
When we lose trust in ourselves, we begin to depend on authority. When people no longer fear the power of authority, a greater empowerment appears, never needing to enforce itself. You will then work naturally to fulfill yourself and meet your community needs.
Spend some time in nature, do it early in the morning. This will help you keep your inner composure and clarity of mind to deal with daily events. Having inner composure and clarity of mind, and being free of selfish aims, will enable you to help people and the world.
Quote: Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.
