If we look for that soft heart we guard so carefully, we can’t find it, all we find is a kind of tenderness with some sadness.  The sadness is an inherent sadness, unconditional sadness.  This is sometimes called the genuine heart of sadness.

As we grow, we have created layers of interpretation and biased perception; those are our templates for living.  Give all this up and return to the actions of infants.  They look at the world with the inner eye and transcend all the sorrows of life.

There is an underlying essence or energy that is inherent in the universe.  Try to find it.  You can’t. It permeates everything and everybody.  Use it and it is inexhaustible.  Using it, our dualities will be forgotten and forms will emerge with incredible depths and dimensions. 

Our destinies are subject to immutable laws that must fulfill themselves.  We still have the power to shape our fate accordingly, as we expose ourselves to the influence of benevolent and destructive forces.  Using this power, we learn the nature of all beings and influence the hearts of all thus attaining world peace.

Quote: Remember who you are because nobody else will.
