I cultivate virtue while continuing to
help others to progress. But I do not
teach others until I have attained the
Tao myself. I prepare myself to become a
"guardian of the well".
In the midst of trials and tribulations
I remain joyful. Stress, sickness, old
age, obsessions do not constitute
obstacles, rather they become fertile
lessons for progress.
I travel from the depths of the earth
towards the light. Each step is a
benediction for I perfect myself in
helping others.
I perfect myself by uniting my vitality, energy, and spirit.
The reunion with the heavenly principle demands rectitude and sacrifice.
I travel from the depths of the earth towards the light. Each step is a blessing for I perfect myself in helping others.
I stand upon the earth to perfect the
laws of heaven. This is the path of the
temporal in accordance with creation.
I separate myself from my discriminating consciousness in order to sublimate the spirit. I am serene and await the right moment to free myself from false yin such as coveting riches.
I avoid disorder and haste in my life. I
neither hurry nor am I lazy. I act
accordingly no matter what trials I may
go through. Thus I progress harmoniously.
I reduce all excess and fortify the
positive within me. I direct my destiny by
walking the middle path: balance between
steadfastness and gentleness.
I nourish myself with positive energy at
the right moment with vivacity to free
myself from negative energy. Thus I am
able to act freely according to my will and
not according to negative conditioning.
