The adept has no heart of her own.
She makes the heart of the people her own.
To the good ones I am good.
To the no-good ones I am good, too.
Because life is goodness.
To the faithful ones I am faithful.
To the unfaithful ones I am faithful, too.
Because life is faith.
The adept lives in the world in stillness
and opens her heart for the world.
People watch her and listen to her.
And she treats them all with cheerful kindness.
Tao-Te King
Guidance from the Eternal
