Any fragment of the mind, apart from heart, spirit, human community, and the natural law of the universe, is going against your own true nature. We sometimes confuse knowledge with knowing, forget the 10,000 things. Be open and curious, practice the “Don’t Know Mind”.
When we are dealing with mistakes and errors of others, do not dwell on them, just simply pass them over. That is if they are unintentional transgressions and forgive misdeeds right away. Then conditions will ease, and we can make our way back to ordinary conditions as soon as possible.
Quote: …in a way—most don’t see a flower—really—it is so small—we haven’t time—and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.
