Do not be impatient with your seemingly slow progress. Do not try to run faster than you presently can. If you are studying, reflecting and trying, you are making progress whether you are aware of it or not. A traveler walking the road in the darkness of night is still going forward.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.

Interpretation blocks reception while masquerading as reception. Rightness does not need interpretation; it requires simple acceptance and nothing else.

It is a true miracle when a man finally sees himself as his only opposition.

Your central self is totally untouched by grief, confusion, desperation.

Men have the illusion of having a duty to make the world spin properly, which is precisely what makes it wobble.
