The sage is one with the world, and lives in harmony with it.

By moderation one can be generous.

To attain knowledge, add things every day To attain wisdom, remove things every day

. . . learn to value what is important today in the subtle realm rather than what appears desirable tomorrow in the worldly realm.

By steadily disciplining the animal nature, until it becomes one pointed, it is possible to establish conscious awareness of The Eternal.

Do not look only at yourself, and you will see much. Do not justify yourself, and you will be distinguished. Do not brag, and you will have merit. Do not be prideful, and your work will endure.

Being satisfied with little, you can gain much. Seeking much you will go astray. The wise heeds this precept. If it could be so with all people!
