Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream.

Everything will settle in its own place automatically.

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.

Not all spiritual paths lead to the harmonious Oneness. Indeed, most are detours and distractions, nothing more.

Lessen selfishness and restrain desires.

If people are not afraid of dying, why threaten them with death?
