Self-cultivation takes us just as we are with our confusion and our sanity, it gives us time alone with ourselves. In time it teaches you to accept who you are, as you are, an unconditional friendliness with ourselves, a simple direct relationship with the way we are.
Human nature was originally one. We were a whole and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called love. However, the pursuit of love and compassion is not without pain and confusion. Can we still be part of the whole and connected to all living beings?
Trust the intelligence of your body, trust your natural responses and everything will fall into place. When you speak, speak with quietude and sincerity, then your words will be long lasting. Being natural in this way, you embrace everything and everything embraces you.
If you have great obstacles to overcome, you can accomplish this by clear thinking, patience, and perseverance. Even though it may be arduous you will succeed. If you understand the difficulties clearly and remain persevering, the obstacle will be overcome.
Quote: To rebel is to leave the central path, such action is bound to fail.
