When we cling to thoughts and memories, we are clinging to what cannot be grasped.  When one thought has entered and another has not yet begun, rest in that gap.  Train in returning to that gap, the present moment, all compassion and inspiration comes from that.

It is our own egotism that leads us to define ourselves as individuals.  Understanding the nature of compassion, we realize that our separation from others is artificial.  Once we find compassion in our hearts, we will understand our essential oneness with all things.

To eliminate the vexation of the mind, it is a matter of not-doing.  Simply avoid becoming attached to what you see and think.  Relinquish the notion that you are separate from the mind of the universe.  This way you can recover your pure insight and see through all illusions.

When leading people be open to all, “see” them as they really are without judgement, regarding who they are individually, with their talents and limitations. When leading also be aware of what is generally needed at that moment and how that can be done.

Quote:  Look at something and say: “Yes, I can make it better.”
