Actions in the world are an expression of the forces of nature. It is possible to observe these forces without identifying with them. Imagining oneself as the doer of action is like a bicyclist on the downhill slope who continues to pedal.

Because life is one seamless whole, what we wish, think, hope, and pray for others to have is what we consider possible for ourselves. Think the best of others and everyone will benefit.
