Do not judge or try to grasp whatever arises in the mind.  What we call good or bad we should simply acknowledge as just thinking.  Let all thoughts come and go as if touching a bubble with a feather.  This practice prepares us to stop struggling and discover a fresh unbiased state of being.

The source of our energy is partly chemical, our hormones, nutrition from food and genetics.  The secret is not to overindulge, overindulgence is a waste of your energy.   Also, suppression can hurt the body, even at a very basic level.  Find the proper balance and you will live a healthy and full life.

Can you let go of dualities and embrace life without skepticism or panic?  Doing this, you will be able to reach the heart of oneness with everything.  The feeling of oneness is not something special, it is beyond that; it is simply the direct essential and complete truth.

When times are bad, submit to them and remain quiet.  It may be impossible to counteract the conditions of the time.  It is not cowardice but wisdom to submit and avoid actions.  A law of nature is at work, evil is not destructive to the good alone, but inevitably destroys itself as well.

Quote: You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop. Rumi
