Sit in silence. In quietude. Alone. Be at one with all. Empty yourself of the world. Rejoice in having no past. Have no hope for the future. Extoll the virtue of loneliness. There is no other. Do not seek companionship. Gather the darkness about you like a shroud. Huddle in isolation. You do not see. You are blind to the path. You are not the one who knows. Draw on twia for all things. Twia knows the way.
Be not guided by eyes and ears. They are blind and deaf. They do not see or hear. Find guidance within. Hold peace of heart. Open to your true nature. Do not be deceived by perceptions. Hold true to the harmony found in heart. Herein lies oneness. Stop looking for differences. Do not listen to the din of the world. Stop seeking this and that. You are whole, complete, perfect, eternal. Dwell in body without perception of the false. Know not fear. Hold to twia.
Know what you cannot change. Live within your destiny. Use your power in place of desire. Your desire to change the world is admirable, but futile. It will not change for you. Use your power to change within. Let the world adapt to you. Put away your shovel. Stop trying to channel the river to your desires. Stop. Sit. The river knows its course. Do nothing.
The way of the world is birth, death, fear, hunger, struggle, wealth, poverty, desire, hope, greed, compassion, achievement, etc. Seek the still waters of the pool along the riverbank. Herein lies harmony with twia. The secret of life is to live in harmony with the river. Hold to the stillness of the pool. This is your destiny. Life by the pool is peace. Rest without end. Do nothing. The river provides. It flows from the dark side of the mountain to the light of the open sea. The two are joined in unity. Theirs is an eternal relationship. Let the harmony of the river embrace you.
