Listening to your own heart you will start moving in the right direction, without ever thinking of what is right and what is wrong.

11. Never make the negative the object of your study, because the negative is not there. You can go on and on and you will never arrive anywhere. Try to understand what light is, not darkness. Try to understand what life is, not death. Try to understand what love is, not hate.
