Nirvana and Enlightenment #103

The world around you may be:
confrontational,
competitive,
desirous,
even violent,
but it is your choice if you enter into this folly.

Sit in the presence of the unenlightened,
let them fight their battles.
Do not become involved,
and they will turn to you for peace.
When they do,
say nothing, do nothing,
for with nothing given, nothing need be returned.

They will learn from your silence and simply become like you--quiet.

Then, the world will again be allowed to follow its own course of perfection.
