Chapter Six, Flexibility toward the World You must always be on guard against the moment when you realize that you ‘know’ something, a person, or a phenomenon. The world is like an organism that is very closely connected, each affecting the other and changing its nature and form at every moment. If there is someone who makes a judgment about ‘knowledge’ in front of the vast principles of nature that cannot be known even today or tomorrow, that person’s universe will immediately stop expanding. This is because such a person closes his or her ears to the world to the answer he or she has come up with, and rarely looks back. Confidence must be a mind that believes in myself. You must not confuse it with self-confidence by using what you believe to be unchanging or fixed as a medium. Yesterday and today in the world are different, and you and I are different. This is just the nature of the universe. There is no good or bad.
