““A still lake is transparent and reflective. Stillness mirrors the truth, for a calm lake reflects with clarity, shedding light on its depths. Light radiates through still waters, as the sediments of confusion settle, enlightening us with clarity and insight. Similarly, a still mind, remaining unstirred, reflects the reality, without distortion, revealing the light of wisdom. Choosing patience over rushing lets situations unfold naturally. This is the power of surrendering. So is the water powerful in its softness and flexibility, locating the lowest place and flowing around the rocks, thus overpowering the hardness over time. Power emerges from adapting, rather than resisting.””
