Are we going to spend this lifetime struggling against uncertainty and saying, “I’m like this and you’re like that” or are we going to train in letting go, reconnecting with the natural flexibility of our being and help others do the same? If we do this, limitless possibilities open up.
Use patterns for planning your day and for your entire life. Each day match your interim patterns against your master goals. You will learn to improvise when unpredictable things happen or things that don’t go according to your plan. Discern the pattern of the change and make change as necessary.
Life is not about withdrawing from society, not about escaping into a life of solitude and meditation. It’s about engaging fully in life, it is about transcending our humanity. Be models in your community and set examples of personal and social transformation.
What has been spoiled by man’s fault can be made good through man’s work. Once we know the causes of decay, we must not recoil from working diligently on them even if it is difficult. We must work tirelessly towards improving conditions in the world.
Quote: It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawns on you.
