Lean not on anyone. You need no outer props and reassurances, for you have all deep within you. It is inner peace that everyone longs for, and it is there when you take time to look for it. Do you take time to see the truth, or do you accept everything you hear, see and read at face value? When you know something from within, nothing or no one from without can shake it. It is something that is so real to you, it would not matter if the whole world went against you, telling you that you were wrong. You would be able to go quietly along your way without being disturbed or thrown off balance. That is the joy and strength of inner knowing. It is what can give you the peace which passes all understanding. So whenever you are in any doubt about anything, go within and seek the truth, and I will reveal it to you; then go your way in peace and confidence.
不要依靠於任何人。我不需要外在的支撐與肯定，因為我的內在深處有這一切。每個人都渴望的是內在的寧靜，它就在那裡，當我花時間去尋找。我會花時間去看見真相嗎，還是我接受一切表面上的見聞？當我在內在瞭解了某件事，那麼在外在就沒有人或事可以動搖它。它對我而言是如此真實，就算整個世界都反對我，告訴我，我錯了，也無關緊要。我會有能力去靜靜地走自己的路，不會被干擾，或被甩出平衡。這就是能在認知的愉悅與力量。這就是能給我帶來超越一切理解的平靜的存在。因此在無論什麼時候，當我對任何事物感到懷疑時，回歸內在尋求真相，上天就會將之展示於我；然後再在平和與自信中繼續走我的道路。
