Can you listen quietly, like the earth receiving seeds, and then see if your heart can calm down? The heart must understand all its projections and activities in order to calm down. It’s not about being quiet occasionally, but being able to naturally stay quiet every moment, every day, and then you’ll find out what the answer is. Creative emptiness is not a realm that can be cultivated, it will secretly descend without invitation. Only in this state can change be achieved.
