The sage honors his part of the settlement, but does not exact his due from others.

...The sage, traveling all day, Does not lose sight of his baggage. Though there are beautiful things to be seen, He remains unattached and calm.

The highest tone is hard to hear.

Love the whole world as if it were your self; then you will truly care for all things.

No misfortune is worse than underestimating the enemy. Underestimating the enemy, I risk losing my treasure.

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is. Thus the Master is available to all people and doesn't reject anyone. He is ready to use all situations and doesn't waste anything. This is called embodying the light. What is a good man but a bad man's teacher? What is a bad man but a good man's job? If you don't understand this, you will get lost, however intelligent you are. It is the great secret.

Life is going forth; death is returning home.
