Dear Son,
I must tell you that if each day you let your suffering, worry and
tension burn your time and energy, you will have little time and energy
left. They will not be sufficient for containing freedom, freshness, light-
heartedness, calmness and peace and to be useful for others and oneself.
However, I have a measure to ease heavy tension of your body and mind.
Now, how would you know that you and others are under heavy
tension ? You will know by observing your body as a priority, which is
not the same for every body. But the majority of people will have such
symptoms, i.e. your blood will be abnormal. The muscles of the face will
be tensed. Headache comes often. You get fatigue easily without any
reason, the heat within the body increases as well as body odor.
Digestion and excretion are not normal. Face and eyes are not bright.
The hair will fall out and change colors quickly. You are inert, cannot
make sharp decision, worry and become moody easily. Besides, there
are many more symptoms. Most of the symptoms are the results of
tension. This is not all the abnormalities of the body.
It will affect environment work and society; all affects are bad.
The metabolism of anybody with tension will be quicker than those
without tension, which causes abnormal heat in the body. The organs,
glands and kidneys will work more heavily. There will be more excretion.
The person sweats more and has more body odor. The heat in the
body increases. Now imagine such a person in society or will be in a
society. What will affect society ?
Over and above, if society has more than one person of this kind,
what would happen ? What follow is the excretion, emotion and the
expression of emotion, which, if unacceptable, there will surely be a
problem. The problem will be a barrier in joining society. These will
affect the work both directly and indirectly. Those who are involved in
problems will suffer and have no energy to finish the work. This is a
direct problem. If he could finish his work, the work will not be complete.
If the acceptance of society is needed, it will not be just enough. This is
indirect effects. Now you see when you are wrapped up in worry and
tension, it will not be good for anybody.
Therefore you should not let them happen to you. If they should
happen unknowingly, you have to get rid of them. Do you know how to
get rid of them ? If not, I will tell you. There are two methods to get rid
of them: the absolute truth and the conventional truth methods.
Today we don’t have enough time. I could not explain both within
little time. I would conclude and cut it short by explaining how to get rid
of tension, let it out with the method of conventional truth.
To get rid of tension with the method of conventional truth is to
softly relax like an old saying “Fish can live in hot water, but cold water
kills the fish”. Therefore, if you want tension to die out from you, you
should slowly adjust the emotional tension with calmness. Stop doing
things, give ten or fifteen minutes to yourself. Do not let any thing disturb
your body and mind, breathe in clean pure air. Be conscious of the slow
and gentle inhalation and exhalation. Let out the confused and hot
exhalation. Then be conscious of every moment you inhale and exhale.
Do this for 5 to 10 minutes or more. Then you would know what happen
to you. For sure you get your real feeling back and finally calm down.
Give all attention to the feeling inside the body. Absolutely, do not let your
work, things or all creatures appear in your mind at this moment. Be calm,
relaxing and know what goes on. If you find any part of your body tensed,
may be your forehead, neck, arms, legs or shoulders, use all your feeling
to inhale to the tensed point and let it out with your exhalation. This can
be compared with a pipe of water, stuck with something. The owner can
open the pipe by putting in water to wash out that piece of remnant.
Breathing out tension has to be done gently, slowly, clearly and at
ease. Be with yourself all the time. These actions will create fine concentration.
The concentration will enable you to unite all the thoughts into one. Your
body and mind harmonize in the work. It enriches and builds up efficiency
for the work. When you want to talk, talk with a feeling that it is important.
Get the meanings of the words gently and politely. Your daily life, the
inhalation and the exhalation have meanings and importance for you. Besides
giving you life and energy, it also gives you lessons, firmness, success, peace
and happiness. It is a proof of values and living. You will be happier. It
enlightens the work you are doing. It will not be as heavy as you used to
think. You will have a friendly feeling towards your work, in spite of thinking
that it causes problems. Work and life are not heavy and tensed as you
thought before.
When you feel calm and awakening, you will be free to use your
energy continuously. You will discover excellent means in your work,
whatever you have to do or even in your rest, you will have quality and
gentle rest and relax happily. You will be able to touch fully the core of
life.
