When we act out or tell someone off there is some relief for the moment, but it doesn’t last. If we surrender and drop the story line, there is tenderness under all that harshness. By being kind to ourselves, we become kind to others; done properly it benefits everybody.
It is only human interaction that creates meaning to things. For example, our house may be precious to us, but this only comes from the value and memories we associate with it. As long as we remember that the meanings, we attribute to objects are all subjective, this way we will avoid mistakes.
Settle your mind like the universe settles the stars in the night sky. Connecting your mind to this subtle origin it will become calm and then it will naturally expand and ultimately, your mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.
Contemplate the forms that exist in nature, then you will understand the times and its changing demands. Contemplate the forms existing in society it becomes possible to change the world. Silencing desires brings clarity within, quiet without, tranquility for contemplation.
Quote: Perfection is reached, not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.
