Practicing being gentle with yourself helps awaken your genuine heart. This compassion, this clarity, this openness, is like something we have forgotten. Lightening up in your practice, sitting there being gentle with yourself, you are re-discovering something.
The diversity and contradictions of existence confuse us, and appearances can deceive us. Once you unite all elements within yourself, uniting the female and male, the light that dispels darkness appears. This light is your inner master and brings you knowledge.
Shining the light on yourself will never boost your eminence. Being self-righteous precludes you from being right. Parading yourself parodies leadership. Boasting about yourself will never boost your eminence. Avoid the cultivation of these ego-bloated voids.
No matter how difficult a situation is there is always a solution. Your attitude is the most important part of that solution. Do not act with undo haste or continue in your old ways or be content with partial success. Have a plan before beginning and reflect on finishing.
Quote: The greatest gift you can offer the ancestors is to become a great one yourself.
