(Purchase Book and CDs)

SoulType 1, Chapter 46


When Heaven below (sacred body) is with the Tao, galloping horses* are curbed and used to haul dung.
When Heaven below does not have the Tao, war horses breed on sacred ground.

There is no greater misfortune than not knowing contentment.
There is no greater downfall than having deep-seated desires.
Know contentment. Your contentment is always enough!


*The galloping horse is the symbol of sanctity, power and outstanding achievement of a nation.
