The law of nature
The world begins with one.
Whenever people travel pass a river or the sea, they will stop by and look at the water. Why is this so? It is because water is ever flowing and pliant. It never stops. Hence, one is more often compelled to halt and look at them.
This is the nature of truth.
When one has no thought about personal security, his life is long preserved. He is able to realise his complete self because he is always selfless.
Isn't this an obvious truth?
That those who knows their own worth, makes no self display. And those who have self respect, does not feel self important. Those who know do not speak, those who speak do not know.
True words may not be specious, and specious words may not be true. Good words may not be convincing and convincing words may not be good. Wise men may not be learned and the learned may not be wise.
Similarly, that the rivers and seas are the masters of all because they occupy the lowest position, which in fact, is the cause of their mastership. Therefore, he who wishes to be above the people must be content to be at the bottom. He who wishes to be ahead of the people must be content to be at the rear.
Above all, the great trouble of man lies in the love for self. If one is selfless, where can there be trouble? If one is selfless, where is the pain?
