We have what it takes to wake up, we just need some encouragement to be aware of what we think, say and do. By cultivating a mind that does not grasp at right and wrong you will find a fresh state of being; the ultimate cessation of suffering comes from that.
We should do no more than we need to satisfy ourselves, to do more would be foolhardy. We must remember to look within, lingering there is a shimmering beauty and fantastic movement. This is the center, the eye of the storm, the still point of existence.
The ancient teachings are easy to understand and easy to practice. Your intellect will never grasp them and if you try to practice them you will fail. The teachings are older than the world. How can you grasp their meaning? If you want to know them, look inside your heart.
It is an incentive for you when good starts to prevail to join the upward trend, but don’t be carried away by the current of the time. We must adhere to what is right and be aware that everything is transitory, because descent must follow every rise. This is a natural law.
