Decisions and Conseqences
"Heaven knows the return. Heaven is orchestrating the return. But it is you who must make the decisions and the adjustments and deal with the consequences, so do not think you are a blind follower. Do not take a passive attitude. Do not think that you will just be guided in all things, as if you were a little child. You must make the decisions. You must face the consequences. You must speak for yourself." [1]
Beginner's Mind
"In learning how to still the mind, you must have a focus, you must be in a quiet place, you must be sitting comfortably, and you must have a passive attitude. Four things are required here. Your passive attitude means you are not aggressively trying to make something happen, or to solve problems or to engage in other kinds of mental activities. You are just there in a relaxed manner."
