Each day reflect on the day ahead keeping a wide-open heart and mind. Before retiring reflect on what you have done. If you did something you aspired to do even once, rejoice in that. If you went against your aspiration, rejoice that you can see what you did.
As you progress on your path you will seek silence more and more. Once you find deep solitude and calm there will be a great gladness in your heart. Here is a place you need neither defence nor offence here you can be truly open. This is the peace that seems to elude so many.
Keeping to the receptive allows the creative to rise. The creative and the receptive are complementary sides of the same process. To be creative, accept the world as it is, return to the innocence of childhood and become receptive to all that comes your way like a newborn.
Practice undiscriminating virtue carefully and conscientiously, even doing a little good and getting rid of slight faults, will make you stronger. With persistence and working consistently, steadily, and accumulating strength, will give you a better understanding of life.
