All is calm, all is rest against the tumult of the world. Throu it all maintain your direct pipeline of stillness to the inner world of musó. [The purity of uncreated thought] It is of course vastly important for humanity’s sense of wholeness that it should improve the living conditions of all on the planet. But if this is taken to mean the provision of consumer goods for all, it can only magnify unhappiness to intolerable levels. Motivation for much that is wholly unnecessary comes from a desperate desire to put off the moment of translocation, if possible for ever. What a foolish idea — to remain in the womb indefinitely!
As some are now discovering, it is often the poorest peoples who are the richest. If your brain tells your body you are warm you have no need of clothing. If your stomach tells your mind you are content your search is over. If the meanest person knows me and knows hir function in the world s/he possesses more than the richest will ever acquire. S/he will sleep with more certainty, and maintain harmonious universally relations of a kind whose secret is hidden from the most expensive education in the world. The waves of chance may appear massive and threatening, but the wise know they are merely a film superimposed on reality — no matter how they surge and thunder before the eye, all within can remain calm and untouched for it exists in an entirely different dimension.
