Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look out at the stars. This practice should answer the question..... The master settles her mind as the universe settles the stars in the sky. By connecting her mind with the subtle origin, she calms it. Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately her mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple.

A great country is like the lower outlet of a river. It is the world's meeting ground, the world's female.

Always without desire we must be found, If its deep mystery we would sound; But if desire always within us be, Its outer fringe is all that we shall see.

Without stirring abroad, One can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window One can see the way of heaven. The further one goes The less one knows.

Instead of being afraid of death, we should try to awake to life; and the only death we should escape from is to forget the presence of God into us.

Excellent soldiers are not furious.
