Lesson 199

The man of complete virtue remains blankly passive as regards what goes on around him.

Excerpt

The man of complete virtue remains blankly passive as regards what goes on around him. He is as originally by nature, and his knowledge extends to the supernatural. Thus, his virtue expands his heart, which goes forth to all who come to take refuge therein.

Today, choose one thing you can set aside so as to devote yourself fully to what truly matters, and do it with a peaceful heart.
