64     Fulfilling Your True Nature

 

 

 

1 “Heaven is everlasting and earth is enduring.

The reason that they are everlasting is because

 they do not exist for themselves.

Hence, they are long lived.

Thus, although the saint puts himself last, he often finds himself in the lead.

Although he is not self-concerned, finds himself accomplished.

It is because he is not focused on self-interests

and hence can fulfill his true nature.”

 

2 Nothing in nature lives for itself.

Rivers don’t drink their own water.

Trees don’t eat their own fruit.

The sun doesn’t shine for itself.

A flowers fragrance is not for itself.

Living for each other is the rule of nature.
