Ki Saying #10

“There is no conflict in the Absolute Universe, but there is conflict in the relative world.

If we unify our mind and body, become one with the Universe and practice its principles, others will follow us gladly.

Do not say that this is a world where we must struggle to live each day.  The true way to success is exactly one and the same as the principle of non-dissension and that is the way to peace.”
