Mtu anayetaka kuchukua ulimwengu na kuutekeleza maandishi yake, mimi naona hatazamia kushindwa. Kwa sababu ulimwengu ni kifaa cha muujiza, hakinaweza kutekelezwa wala kushikilia. Yeyote atakayeekukua ataangamia, na yeyote atakayeshikilia ataupoteza. Kwa hiyo, vipo mambo yanayoenda mbele na yanayofuata, mambo yanayopumua polepole na yanayopuliza kwa nguvu, mambo yenye nguvu na yenye udhaifu, mambo yanayopagawa na yanayobomolewa. Kwa sababu hii, mtu mwenye hekima anajiepusha na mipingamo, anajiepusha na mapambo, anajiepusha na ufukwe.

Inavyonigusa mimi vipi?
Mimi mara nyingi nahitaji kudhibiti matukio katika maisha yangu. Ninakumbushwa kwamba kudhibiti huleta hasara. Kujifunza kupokea na kusikia, na si kujaribu kutekeleza kila kitu kwa nguvu, kunasaidia kupumzika moyoni.
Nifanye nini leo?
Leo, ikiwa unahisi kujaribu kudhibiti hali fulani, jikumbushe kwamba ulimwengu hautashi kudhibitiwa. Ondoa nguvu yako, subiri, na uache mambo yasome msururu wao wa asili. Jiepusha na mipingamo na mapambo.
If any one should wish to get the kingdom for himself, and to effect this by what he does, I see that he will not succeed. The kingdom is a spirit-like thing, and cannot be got by active doing. He who would so win it destroys it; he who would hold it in his grasp loses it.
