What seems undesirable in our lives doesn’t have to trigger habitual reactions. Instead, practice gentleness and loving kindness towards every moment. We can use difficult situations to encourage us to step out into that ambiguity, not knowing what’s ahead.
With the emergence of great possibilities comes the need for responsibility. If you diverge from your life path to explore new vistas, remember how far you are going and remember to return at the proper times. Remember only you can decide how to arrange your life.
The mind is originally empty, and when it remains empty without grasping or rejecting, it can respond to natural things without prejudice. Your mind should be like a mirror reflecting everything, never refusing to show anything, and not retaining anything. The mind should be as open as this.
In difficult times, a task can be accomplished by caution and deliberation. If we wish to achieve something we first need to investigate the forces and bring these forces to bear in the proper place and the proper time, first we must be at the correct standpoint ourselves; only then can we work correctly.
Quote: By concentrating the thoughts, one can fly; by concentrating the desires one falls.
