Stop struggling, it’s not about winning or losing, but about ceasing to struggle with life and relax as it is. That is what we are doing in our self-cultivation practice, it’s about relaxing without struggling. Just be, let this attitude spread to the rest of your life.
We are not required to make any effort in life, we can all go the easy way. However, we need to make an effort in taking care of our physical, mental and spiritual bodies. This way you have control of what is happening to you, rather than aimlessly going through life.
Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking about yourself. When we don’t see the self as self what do we have to fear? See the world as yourself, treat the world as yourself, love the world as yourself, have faith in the way things are, then you can care for all things.
An enthusiastic delightful mood is helpful to your success but gives warning against self-satisfaction. It is easy to indulge in one’s own pleasure and forget the delight of others. The key is humility and sincerity; these two qualities bring harmony, the true meaning of delight.
