If your willingness to give blessings is limited, so also is your
ability to receive them.
That which is beyond form is ungraspable, and that which is beyond
knowing is unmanageable. There is,

Never hating, never resisting, never contesting, she is simply
always learning and being.
Living with unconditional sincerity, eradicating all duality,
celebrating the equality of all things, your every moment will be truth.
This is the profound, simple truth: you are the master of your life
and death. What you do is what you are.
Quiet your thinking. Stop
analyzing, dividing, making distinctions between one thing and another. Simply see that you are at the center of the
universe, and accept all things and beings as parts of your infinite body. When you perceive that an act done to another
is done to yourself, you have understood the great truth.
Understand that true growth comes from meeting and solving the
problems of life in a way that is harmonizing to yourself and to others.
Avoid daydreaming and allow your pure original insight to
emerge.
If you scramble about in search of inner peace, you will lose your
inner peace.
Whoever became a good rider by talking about horses? If you wish to embody the Tao, stop
chattering and start practicing.
If you wish to become a divine immortal angel, then restore the
angelic qualities of your being through virtue and service. This is the only way to gain the attention of
the immortals who teach the methods of energy enhancement and integration that
are necessary to reach the divine realm.
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then waken all of
yourself. If you want to eliminate the
suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in
yourself.
You can be a gentle, contemplative hermit right here in the middle
of everything, utterly unaffected, thoroughly sustained.
