Don't Try To Live. Let Yourself Be

Cruelty Practiced As A Matter Of Social Principle Or Public Policy, And Presented To The Community As A Means To A Higher Goal Is The Most Obscene And Decadent Phenomenon Of Any Civilization.

A Truly Strong Person Does Not Need The Approval Of Others Any More Than A Lion Needs The Approval Of Sheep.

Do Not Mistake Desire For Love. Desire Leaves Home In A Frantic Search For One Gratification After Another. Love Is At Home With Itself.

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. Someday, Some Way, Everything Will Break Open, Like The Natural Unfolding Of A Rosebud.

Suppose You Stand On A High Place To Enjoy The Beauty Of The Sparkling Sea Below. You Need Do Nothing To Create That Beauty; You Need Only Be In The Same Place Where It Is, And Let Nature Do The Rest. So It Is With The Inner Life. There Is Nothing We Can Do To Gain Psychic Beauty. It Already Exists Without Our Effort. We Need Only Be Where We Belong, That Is, In Self-union. Then, Beauty Is.
