　　Flow with the tide, not against it. When you feel that change is necessary, be willing to change and do not try to resist it. Be very flexible. Keep open, and never let your attitude be ‘What was good enough for my parents is good enough for me’. Change will never come if that is your attitude, and changes must come. The new cannot fit into the old mould because the new has outgrown the old and needs more room. Give it more room by expanding with it. It need not be a painful process when there is not resistance. When a planet is pot-bound, it needs to be repotted to allow its roots to expand. When your consciousness has outgrown the old conceptions, it needs to be allowed to expand into new realms. This process can come about very naturally; there need not be any stress or strain. Simply let go, relax and feel yourself changing and expanding as naturally as breathing, moving out of the old into the new.

　　順水推舟，而不是逆向它。當我感覺到改變是有需要的，要願意去改變而不是抵抗它。要非常能夠變通。保持敞開，並永不要讓我的態度變成「對我父母來說足夠好的，就是對我來說足夠好的」。如果這就是我的態度，那麼改變永不會到來，而改變卻是必須要到來的。新的無法融入舊的鑄型，因為新的是從舊的中成長出來的，所以需要更多的空間。給它更多的空間，通過和它一起擴展。

　　這不需是一個痛苦的過程，當沒有抵抗的時候。當一株植物在花盆中不再有生長空間，它需要被移植才能讓它的根擴展開來。當我的意識層面長出了舊有概念的範圍，它需要被允許擴展到新的領域。這個過程可以非常自然地發生；並不需要任何壓力與緊張。僅僅只需放手，放鬆，然後感覺到我自己在改變在擴展，像呼吸一樣自然，從舊的走出來，來到新的。
