Grateful am I to have learned from a master!

You will soon realize that you create the mind in any way that you want.
You are master of your mind.

To become master of your mind, you must realize that understanding is control of the mind, and you have to work hard and diligently to master it.

Like the field under the wildflowers, the valley spirit is used by the Ten Thousand Things, but they are not necessarily aware of it. All one can say of the Tao is that "it seems to exist" - there is no physical evidence for its existence. It is still, empty, and inexhaustible.

The flowers are nourished by the field, but do not exhaust it. Likewise, the Tao enriches our lives, but there is no way we could ever "use up" the Tao.
