Daily Guiding Principles
ー Written by Masami Saionji
1.
Open your heart fully.Open your heart fully, not a single inch of it.
Do not admit any concealment.With all your dirty hearts,your ugly hearts, your hateful hearts, and your lowly hearts, open them wide and fully.
Yes, that's fine.
Be at ease.
Look into the hearts of others.
People who we thought were such good people, who we thought were such fine people, who were respected and adored by so many people, are all nothing if we open our entire hearts to them.
Everyone has the same ugly heart, more or less.That's much of a muchness.You are not the only one to lose confidence.You are not the only one who needs to feel inferior.We are all like that.
If I may say so, people who lack confidence are probably the good guys.
2.
You should use all the energy you possess, not wasting it on trivial competitiveness or ambitions, but fully employing it towards self-completion. Instead of trying to stand above others, you ought to hone your talents and steer them towards their fullest development.
3.
As human beings are inherently children of God, every person harbors infinite potential within. We must not rely solely on our five senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin), but rather elevate our consciousness to discover and feel our true selves, which still slumber within. By becoming receptive to spiritual vibrations, we can accurately catch the infinite wisdom emanating from God. Constantly receiving God's wisdom, we can safely navigate the course of our lives. Then, we can transcend the fate imposed on us by our karma in this life, and live freely and as we wish in this world.
4.
There's no need to panic.
Nor is there any need to rush.
There's absolutely no need to take it so deeply to heart.
All that is necessary is to strongly believe that everything is smoothly and successfully managed by the Guardian Divinities.
It's not about doing everything by one's own strength, by oneself alone.
It is only when one is united with the divine that everything begins to be managed.
Knowing this in your heart is what truly matters.
Then unexpectedly, everything will be smoothly managed and come to completion.
