When an exalted soul realises that all sentient beings are one in relation to the Supreme – that is, that all beings are the minute parts of the One – how shall he have any more delusion and what grief will come to him?

Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.

Lao Tan said, “I was letting my mind wander in the beginning of things.”
“What does this mean?” asked Confucius. Lao Tan said, “It means to attain Perfect Beauty and wander in Perfect Happiness. He who attains Perfect Beauty and wanders in Perfect Happiness may be called the Perfect Man.”

We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment.
