Bend to the way. Lower yourself to raise up. Those who raise up are lowered. There is harmony in the to-and-fro. Do not linger long in either place. Can you find your way? Let truth follow you. It will bring you home. Your abundance will follow. To lead from behind is to know the way.
Yield in the face of resistance. Go soft against the hard. Accept without desire. Move lightly upon the land. Do not wander. Find the moment. Water wears down the stone. Frozen, it cracks the rock. Yet water cannot be grasped. Be quiet in your movements. Appear to do nothing. Act like the river. Follow your natural course. Let your flow be unstudied. The river does nothing. It flows. Do nothing. Act. Accept the course that is yours to follow. Do not resist. Do not struggle. Yield to twia.
You have nothing but time. You are the eternal. Sit in the still silence of eternal wisdom. It is the mirror against which you see all things. Hold peace of heart. Be like the waters of the pond that lie like glass in the spring meadow. It appears empty to those who gaze upon it. The pond is the whole of the all. It has no borders. No center. No bottom. It appears empty to eyes that cannot see. It is full. Bathe in its waters without stirring. Do nothing. Silence will embrace you in joy. Rest in perfection. Emptiness is all about you. You are nowhere. You are the eternal I AM. In you rises the world. You are the dancing that is the dance. You are the movement that is existence. Do not think of yourself as a body. You are not your personality. These are transitory. You are eternal. Do nothing as the body. Act from I AM. You are the mother. Yin and yang are your children. From this arises all things. You are the whole of the all. There is no other. All is attained through joy. You are the joy that is the world. Have no concern. You are deeply rooted in the ground of goodness. This is your being. You are the one. There is no other.
Peace has no price. It is free. Do nothing to be at peace. It is your true nature. Why pay for what is yours in heart. You are the peace you seek. Rest without effort in its still silence. This is the way of the path.
