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.
Your way of living, what you eat, what you wear, are an expression of your state of mind. Contribute, be creative, treasure what you learn and preserve it so it can be passed on to others. Above all be compassionate, this is a stand against evil and opens the spirit.
Be natural, look at the substance, not the form and then you will discover the truth. You cannot discover it by accumulating more knowledge. Knowledge creates doubt and makes you want more knowledge. Find the subtle truth inside yourself and be content in this knowing.
To achieve results that are enduring and complete, be gentle with a steady influence that never lapses. To produce such results, you must have a clearly defined goal. Your results may be less striking than things done suddenly, but they will be more lasting.
