To name is to separate. That is the nature of existence. Words separate it into parts and pieces. Each is given a name. The world in which you live is crafted by the words you use. Your thoughts fabricate the nature of your existence. Your world becomes a product of your imagination, of your desires, expectations, attachments. You produce pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow from your beliefs and the actions that flow from them. Enter your mind. Consider your thoughts wisely.
To live in harmony, do not dominate. Lie low. Live simply. Keep close to the ground. Accept the waters of the river that run through. In this way you receive as you give. The way of the world is to lose touch with twia. To forget. The simplicity of life is lost. You do not see. You do not hear. Peace of heart is disturbed by desire and expectation. You do not know. Yet you struggle alone. You are dizzy and reeling in ignorance of your true nature. Pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow confuse you. They leave you wondering. Revert to simplicity. It is the way of the path. Return to your true nature. Remember twia. Sit in the still silence of the room within. You wonder and do not know. Return to the ordinary. Fame and fortune besiege you. The way of the world entangles you in the briars and brambles along its way. Dust rises from the road. The waters you cross are roiled. Disturbance compounds disturbance. You are not that. You are this. The simple. The quiet. The still. In you the dust settles. The waters smoothed. The way is cleared. In the light you can see. In the silence you can hear. Peace becomes you.
Peace of heart is remembering twia. Remembering twia is walking the way of the path. To walk the way of the path is to leave the past at the door to the room within. To leave the past is to forgive.
Always hold peace of heart. This is the center of existence, where existence gives way to reality. Peace of heart is salvation from suffering. To be at peace is to open the door to the room within. Here you find your true nature, which is twia. Twia knows reality and will bring you into its presence.
Hold to peace of heart. The bonds that limit you to the world will break.
