It is said: Both good fortune and misfortune cause tension. The creative and the destructive exist equally in the mind. How can both good fortune and misfortune cause tension? Those with good fortune are tense anticipating their gift; those with misfortune are tense lamenting their loss. How can the creative and destructive exist equally in the mind? Tension exists because we have a mind, a self, with dual purposes. If we can be selfless, indifferent to the mind, then tension cannot exist. Thus, one who views the world as he views himself is best suited to govern the world; one who loves humanity as he loves himself can be entrusted with the world. |
