Desires wither the heart. The Master observes the world but trusts his inner vision. He allows things to come and go. His heart is open as the sky. 13 Success is as dangerous as failure.
Hope is as hollow as fear.
Whether you go up the ladder or down it, you position is shaky. When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance. Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking of the self. See the world as your self. Have faith in the way things are.
