Being satisfied with what we already have is the key to being alive in a full, unrestricted and inspiring way. Wake up, become more alert and curious about yourself. Being who you are rather than trying to change and improve yourself is all right, just be. Any wisdom that exists, exists in what we already have.
Being self-sufficient is not the same as being isolated, you will have problems if you don’t engage fully with life. If you withdraw into yourself, your life will become stagnate. When you flow with life you will be one with all things and will avoid stagnation and decay.
Don’t look at evil as a force to resist, but simply as an opaqueness, a state of self-absorption which is in disharmony with the universal process so that, as with a dirty window, the light cannot shine through. This allows you great compassion for the wicked and the selfish.
An exhausting situation can be caused by not having enough or being overwhelmed by having too much. If you are stuck in an exhausting situation, discover the cause and seek a solution. Merely complaining and being resentful will only make the situation worse.
