When equal armies battle, the grieving one will be victorious.
If your virtue is especially radiant, it can be possible to open a pathway to the subtle realm and receive these celestial teachings directly from the immortals.
Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.
He who has little will receive. He who has much will be embarrassed.
Find a teacher who is an integral being, a beacon who extends his light and virtue with equal ease to those who appreciate him and those who don't. Shape yourself in his mold, bathe in his nourishing radiance, and reflect it out to the rest of the world.
