Once a person thinks that he has realized the truth, there is a tendency to separate himself from the world. However, all you nurture in an isolated life is a sense of self-satisfaction and self-achievement without any actual growing of the soul. The soul grows by feeding on the joy, peace, and trust one gains by applying his enlightenment in the real world of everyday living. The soul, therefore, needs a mirror through which it can take shape and judge its own maturity. We need this, not for anyone else, but for ourselves, in order to help the soul mature and express its maturity through a good sense of personal character.
Since the study of living must be done in the world, among people, an individual or an organization needs guidelines by which to plan and to apply the plan in the world. Without such guidelines, one is always nervous and unsure about the Tightness of his decisions and actions, always waiting anxiously upon others’ judgments or criticisms, being reactive to the situation instead of being proactive. Having guidelines that one can rely on and trust is akin to having a reliable compass when traveling along an unfamiliar road.
So how do you formulate guidelines? No need, for they already exists. We can divide the guidelines into three points, or rules. Rule One: Revolution vs. Rotation; Rule Two: Centripetal vs. Centrifugal Force; Rule Three: Fairness vs. Equality. These are the rules by which the universe runs. These rules are reflections of the cosmic mind. Some traditions call this the Tao, or the Way. These rules form the basic behavioral guidelines of all Dahnhak practitioners.
