This very moment is the perfect teacher, it is always with us. It is the most profound instruction we can receive. Awakeness is found in our pleasure and our pain, our confusion and our wisdom. It is available in each moment of our ordinary lives.
When the sun begins its new pattern, spring follows. We are not always in harmony with natures patterns. If we learn to follow these patterns our life will be in harmony with all things and the peace and tranquility we seek will be available to us all the time.
Intellectual knowledge exists in and of the brain, which is part of the physical body. However, insight is a function of the spirit that never goes away, you can always cultivate it. Refined over time, insight becomes pure constant and unwavering.
When the good elements of a society are in control, the evil elements come under their influence and change for the better. When the good spirit rules in man, his original pure nature also comes under the influence and takes its appropriate place.
