To relate to all others compassionately is a challenge. It means not shutting down on that person, but first not shutting down on ourselves. It means allowing ourselves to feel what we feel and not pushing it away, it means accepting every aspect of ourselves.
Whatever comes to you, you must engage it somehow. You may receive it; you may alter it or you may let it pass. This way you will be in harmony with the essential nature of life. Full participation in all things is the surest way to success and happiness.
As society grows more intelligent there seems to be less happiness and more trouble. You can find happiness by leading a simple, plain and natural life. To find the simple natural way of being you must liberate your own being, then you can lead others out of the mire.
In order to influence each other, both parties should be sincere and free from judgement. Your heart and mind should be as pure as the clear sky and as open as the vast ocean. Thus, acting in harmony and being open, you can accept all people without prejudice.
