When we think something is going to bring us pleasure or misery, we really don’t know what is going to happen. Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. We don’t know if it is the end of a story or the beginning of a great adventure.
There are no secrets to life, before we can grasp life as it really is we must overcome sentiment and fear. To help in our quest we must seek knowledge of life and practice self-cultivation, this helps us remove the fear and part the curtain completely.
Being natural is desiring without craving and acting without excess. Not defending or nourishing your false self, you will find that greed, hatred and arrogance vanish by themselves. Toughening your resolve will create self-reliance and you will lose the sense of self and other.
We are often among people who don’t belong to our own sphere. In this case we should be aware not to become intimate with them through force of habit. Maintaining sociability without intimacy is the only attitude towards such people, giving us freedom.
