The Master doesn't seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
She is present and can welcome all things.
(Tao Te Ching)
There is a time to be enthusiastic and there is a time to be depressed. There is a time for rain and a time for sunshine. There is a time for birth, a time for death, a time for decay and a time for renaissance. There is a time for being quick and there is a time for being slow. There is a time for activity and there is a time for resting. At every point in time, be true to yourself and true to the moment.
All the struggle that you experience comes from the fact that you resist what is. How would you feel if someone wise told you that by tomorrow you will finally realize that things are going your way? Wouldn't you already today rejoice despite your hard labor and the pain? Open your mind and your heart to the moment and things will turn out to be just as they should. If you don't seek, and if you don't expect, you can welcome all things.
There is a time for being ahead,
a time for being behind;
a time for being in motion,
a time for being at rest;
a time for being vigorous,
a time for being exhausted;
a time for being safe,
a time for being in danger.
The Master sees things as they are,
without trying to control them.
She lets them go their own way,
and resides at the center of the circle.
(Tao Te Ching)
