When we feel inadequate or unworthy, we want to hold on to what we have, and are afraid of feeling worse than we do already. The cause of our aggression and fear begins to dissolve when we move past this poverty of holding on to things, both physical and mentally.
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.
Embrace all things, accept everything, extend your goodwill in every direction, or you can deny everything, recognizing that everything you see, is an illusion. Both paths lead to the spontaneous awareness of the harmonious oneness, then all you must do is participate in it.
If you wish to influence others, first start by cultivating your own personality. This practice must be allowed to take its course, being hasty would not be wise. Gentleness that is adaptable, but at the same time penetrating, is the outer form that should proceed from inner calm.
