Hope and fear is a feeling with two sides, as long as there is one there is always the other.  Hope and fear come as a sense that we lack something, and we are unable to sit, relax, and be ourselves.  If we hold on to hope and fear, they rob us of the present moment.

All the diversity in our lives is merely a manifestation of our minds.  If we want simplicity and tranquility, we need only go to the center of our active mind, where it is empty and still.  Diversity comes from our active minds and our origins come from the central void. 

Discover your truth, then you will realize the world is perfect as it is, and it can’t be improved.  See things as they are without trying to control them, let things go their own way.  Treat our planet with care, moderation, and love, let go of things; just stay in your center.

Any development, to be successful, must proceed gradually and be allowed to take its course, being hasty would not be wise.  Penetrating gentleness is the outer form that should proceed from inner calm, along with perseverance, prevents slow progress from dwindling into nothing. 

Quote: When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
