Come by fate, leave by fate

1. They come by fate, and leave by fate. What is meant to come will come; hoping for what shouldn’t come is futile, and begging for it is of no use. If fate brings us together, I won’t push; if not, I won’t seek. Those who come, welcome; those who go, see them off. Let things take their course; go with the flow. Things in this world rarely go as one wishes; forcing things will never bring sweetness. All we can do is be the best version of ourselves. That’s how things are in this world; we should strive without regret and give our all without remorse.
2. When we constantly complain about the darkness of the world, it is actually our own hearts that are covered with a thick layer of dust. Wise people never live according to what others say or what they think. Recognize one’s true heart, see one’s true nature; avoid false attachments. Be without mind and without action, free and at ease, able to move or remain still as one pleases, aware of heat and cold on their own. This very moment is the time for cultivation. One should not be too fake; if one is, it’s hard to build a genuine connection.
3. The greatest pain in life is having no sense of belonging, whether you are aware of it or not, and whether you admit it or not. If one harbors kindness, there is nothing to annoy; if one has a good heart, there is no one to hate; when the mind is simple, all the troubles of the world become meaningless. Be a good person, and your mind will be at peace and your dreams will be serene; do good deeds, and heaven and earth will witness them, as well as the gods and spirits. If you have no doubts, the world will not be cold; if you stay by my side, the world will not seem far away; if you feel no hatred, even the heavens will be warm; if you remain silent, peace will reign throughout the world.
4. True peace is not the ability to sit in silence for hours without moving, but rather viewing all things in the world with a calm mind and listening to the sound of flowers blooming. Peace comes from within; do not seek it outside. Flowers bloom with a sound, yet the wind passes without a trace. Sitting is meditation, walking is meditation; as conditions arise, they cease; as conditions arise, they are empty. Don’t pursue things deliberately; let everything follow the laws of nature, live happily and easily, and enjoy a good life.
5. Everything that happens in life cannot be possessed; it can only be experienced. We are but passersby in time; one day, we will say goodbye to everything forever. Those who understand this well realize that there is no such thing as loss – it’s merely a passage through; and there is no such thing as gain – it’s just an experience. Cherish what is before you; face the past with equanimity. What’s meant to happen will come, and it should be accepted gladly! For everything, by the time you and I say goodbye to this world, will become part of the past; even the beautiful things will ultimately remain just memories.
Wow, it’s written really well ..........
