We cause harm to ourselves by not having the courage and respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently. We cause harm to others by our actions, speech and thoughts. Not causing harm is the basis of an enlightened society and the beginning of a sane world.
Most thinking is tied to some sensory image, we need this way of thinking to function in the everyday world. We need to eliminate this dualistic thinking in order to reach a state of mind that does not cling to external forms and stays in the present moment.
When we are all in harmony with the natural laws we flourish together and being content with the way things are brings us constant energy. View all things with compassion while practicing humility; this brings you wisdom and helps you find lasting peace.
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: We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
