Empty yourself of everything.
Let the mind rest at peace.
The ten thousand things rise and fall
while the Self watches their return.
They grow and flourish
and then return to the source.
Returning to the source is stillness,
which is the way of nature.

The Master sees things as they are,
Without trying to control them.
She lets them go their own way,
And resides at the center of the circle.
******************************************************************
Do you have patience to wait
Till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
Till the right action arises by itself?
******************************************************************
Always we hope
Someone else has the answer
Some other place will be better
Some other time
It will all turn out.
This is it.
No one else has the answer.
No other place will be better.
And it has already turned out.
At the center of your being
You have the answer:
You know who you are
And you know what you want.
There is no need
To run outside
For better seeing.
Nor to peer from a window.
Rather abide at
The center of your being:
The more you leave it
The less you will learn.
Search your heart
And see
The way to do
Is to be.”
