Chapter Four:The Way of Humanity 39

The Founding Master said,
“Everyone wants things that are beneficial, but does many more things that lead to harm. Everyone wants to be wealthy and noble, but does many more things that lead to poverty and degradation. Everyone wants to be praised, but does many more things that lead to ridicule. There are so many cases in which what one wishes in one’s mind and what one practices with one’s body do not correspond. This is all because they do not realize the root source of suffering and happiness, and because, even if they do know it, they do not put it into practice. You must think deeply about the causes, discriminate clearly, and practice thoroughly, so that what you wish and what you do are never in contradiction. Then, all things will be achieved according to your wishes.”
