When others have problems, let them be, do not give advice or try to solve their problems for them. If they ask you for support, listen attentively, you will find this to be the most help you can give them. They know their problems best and usually will come up with a solution on their own.
We all need a lodestone, some centre from which to operate. For some it is home, for others it is merely to withdraw into our own hearts. In order to do this, we need guidance and self-cultivation to return to our natural state, our unsullied, pure inner person.
We are taught to distinguish good from evil, agreement from disagreement; this causes us conflict and anger. Having no desires and accepting things as they are will give you peace, but you must share this idea with others, for we are all part of them and they are all part of us.
In ancient times moral strength was more important than physical strength. Parading one’s powers and trying to outshine others brings about misfortune. Be sincere and truthful, act with courtesy, do not attempt anything that is not in harmony with the times.
