Dive today from the cliff of what you know into what you can't know.
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.

Without the frown of clouds and lightning, the vines would be burned by the smiling sun.
The love religion is all that is written here.

The men of God are like fishes in the ocean; they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.

On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty. Today is such a day.
Put your thoughts to sleep, do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking.
Love is the common denominator that unites all people whatever religion they are.
