this knowing the next right thing
from where but within
the Fourth Saying says
if you will come into me
I'll flow out of you
doing the right thing
begins with inner practice
flows from there as well
born in faithfulness
to constant meditation
possible indeed
a path to be forged
Third Way of Being it's called
five steps it entails
first...sacred mantra
repeating a sacred thought
saying it within
second...sacred place
quiet empty solitude
be alone within
third...sacred reading
invite within wise teachers
absorb what they write
fourth...sacred writing
insights received in quiet
these treasures record
fifth...sacred living
bestow the fruits of practice
let them flow outward
doing the right thing
evolves into being love
births being kindness
