Wednesday, October 19, 2011. The Wisdom of Water. Wise man embodies the quality of water. Water may seem yielding, but it obliterates all things. Water puts out fire, so will it evaporate to escape. Water washes out pliant soil but digresses when stumbling upon a rock. It permeates into space and arrests the movement of wind. It surrenders to the imminent danger in the guise of humility,. But no greater power would hinder it from flowing towards the ocean. Water relinquishes to conquer;.

There are some fundamentals of life which may not be lightly given up because they are difficult of enforcement in one’s life. Change is a condition of progress. An honest man cannot afford to observe mechanical consistency when the mind revolts against anything as an error.”. Anyone who, motivated by great compassion, dedicat...
