“Be like water making its way through crack.
Do not be assertive but adjust to the object and you shall find a way round it or through it.

Still be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.”

“The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear. Make a hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth are set apart; if you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between “for” and “against” is the mind’s worst disease.”
