I progress without haste upon the path of
truth. I renounce rapid success if the
order of progress is not appropriate.

I nourish the energy of the Tao by inner
calm and physical rest.
 

I control my inner life in order to act
authentically.
 

I deepen within myself the true principle
of the universe in order to receive the
light of the spirit.

I work to overcome the ignorance of the
ego in order to develop generosity.
 

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.
