harmed you, but you gave that person power
to hurt you, because you withheld love and
goodwill. Your own poisoned arrows have re-
turned to you. Now call on the law of forgive-

in front of a huge bear, which moved its head
up and down and looked quite ferocious. A

Practice nonresistance on the law, and it will
bring your desire to pass.

his time. He’s the one man you can’t hurry.”
