Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
Don’t let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries.
