Live in harmony with all. Do not be provoked by words and actions. What can they serve you? You are the eternal. Wisdom comes from the room within, not from the noise of the world. Those who provoke do not know. Those who know are undaunted by provocation. Disentangle yourself from those who chatter and taunt. They do not serve you well. Do not accept the serpents they hand to you. The scorn and harm of the sharp tongue is not for you to bear. Wisdom is your way.
Embrace the strength of your wisdom. To know your true nature is to know that you are grounded deeply in goodness. From the ground of goodness, you grow wise in unity and harmony with all. To grow in wisdom, stay low to the ground as the flowing of the river that you are. Do not falter on your course. Follow it to the sea without effort or contention. The sea is the womb from which you emerge. Submit to its embrace. Let it take you in. You are nourished in its dark waters. From within, you are born anew—whole, complete, perfect, eternal—to live in the world as the wisdom that you are.
