Let your mind and your heart be big enough to hang out in the space where we’re not entirely certain who is right and who is wrong. When meeting with people have no agenda. Just see hear and feel them as they really are, not trying to make them right or wrong. This is true communication.
We must seek a level of consciousness beyond the intellect. We must study, but not to the point that the emphasis on direct experience is lost. If we combine the intellect with the emphasis on direct experience, then there will be no barrier to the wordless perception of reality.
The mind is desperate to fix the river in place. Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, it overlooks the plain truth of the present moment. Dissolve your mind, let it be quiet, and find peace and clarity in the present moment.
Through daily self-renewal you can continue at the height of your power. Such a person is in harmony with all things, therefore even great and difficult undertakings succeed. When studying the past, do not confine yourself to the knowledge you learn, but use that knowledge to give actuality to the past.
Quote: The correct way lies in keeping equal distance between nonbeing and being.
