Do not leave the path to seek your fortune. That is the way of the world. Do not give thought to your treasure. Jesus says, the kingdom of God is like a treasure hidden in a field. When you find it, hide it for the joy it brings. Sell everything and buy the field. That is, the room within holds your treasure. This is your true nature, twia. Release the world. Enter the room within. Herein lies your joy. Keep to the way of the path. It is smooth and straight. It fills you with the dawning light of the new day. You are radiant, warm, and glowing.
You are planted firmly in the ground of goodness. Your roots run deep and long. They hold fast. The soil nourishes. You thrive in the light within. Your love is pure. You are the eternal. Your abundance overflows. Cultivate your virtue in the world. Reap from the fields of plenty. Your own mind is the source of your worldly pleasures and pains. You may not feel that you are enough, so you seek acceptance from another. Acceptance you feel will prove your worth. You work hard, accomplish much, and feel you have fallen short. Others do better than you, so your mind tells you. You seek to join with them to prove yourself worthwhile. You want their acceptance. All you wish for is acknowledgement that you are worthy and have done something worthwhile. To love someone who says that you are not enough for them is crushing. Before leaving they say again, I am too much for you. What more do they need that the love you offer? This is the way of life too often. It is the way of the world. Follow the way of the path. Live simply, close to the ground of your being. Remember twia. Know your worthiness. Take nothing personal. Eliminate desire. Have no expectations. Accept personal shortcomings. Do nothing. Recognize your hunger for outward satisfaction for what it is. You cannot live on spun sugar. Eat from what you reap from the ground of goodness in which you are planted.
Enter the room within. Find harmony with the eternal. This is the power that is twia. It is all-encompassing. Listen to the wisdom around you. It is everywhere. You are not limited by the body. You are everywhere the same in all. This is twia. This is the eternal within. Hear its expression everywhere always. Do nothing. It is revealed to those who listen with ears that hear. The wisdom of the ages is not revealed by lips but by awareness. Be mindful of the moment and you will hear. The whole of the all is the voice of all within. You do not know, so do do not speak. Hold your tongue. Use your good ears to hear. Then you will know that twia knows. Follow your true nature in silence.
Be attentive to your actions. Follow twia moment by moment. Let the voice within be your guide. Live simply. Strive less. Hold peace of heart. Let joy reveal itself. This is your true nature. Above all, be mindful of the moment and its goodness. You are planted in the ground of goodness. Live close to the ground. You will benefit in all ways.
Do not put your hand to the ways of the world. You will lose it.
Without desire there is simplicity. With simplicity there is peace of heart. With peace of heart, you touch the eternal.
