Being alone is usually something we choose not to invite in, we desire to escape it and find someone to keep us company. Try having a relaxed, even curious relationship with loneliness. This can help us discover things about ourselves and begin to enjoy ourselves.
Eventually you reach a point where the quiescence of contemplation and the activeness of living are integrated. Then there is no anxiety about whether you are living a spiritual life or not. You realize that it is all part of the same seamless whole.
It is a universal law that what you say and do determines what happens in your life. Recognize that you and this law are one, cultivate yourself in accord with it, bringing moderation to your actions and clarity to your mind. This is a profound simple truth, what you do is what you are.
When unfriendly forces are advancing, retreat is the right course of action. We are not running away, but are offering some resistance, while planning for the time when the aggressive forces end. Anger and hate are not resistance, all resistance must be done in a thoughtful and considerate way.
Quote: People who work together in mutual help are magicians…This is the secret or progress for future humanity: to work through communities.
