Chapters
                 

350) Your first step, and the ones which follow, love.
351) Your first perception is forever, eternity.
352) Truly, I say to you: the joy of creation is yours.
353) The first true use of yourself is wisdom.
354) Clear waters flow to the sea, just as your heart flows to the Lord.
355) Finally, multiplicity has led you to the One and you play within Him in the multiplicity. If you accept the Void you will be filled. When you have been filled, you will annul yourself. The game has begun.
356) You rise up to die, you die in order to rise up joyfully. Time, your ally in the space to be traveled. Your sufferings are mirages and echoes, you are so taken up by your love for others.
357) Not much to say: yes, always. But much to do: be inside and live outside, be your own and give yourself away, be beautiful and gather ugliness, be just and correct injustice, be true and listen to falsehoods, be orderly and respect disorder, be harmonious and accept those who, out of tune, are chaos to themselves and others. Don’t harbor prejudice against those who are arrogant and assert themselves in order to predominate. Overcome all dualities if you can; first, you were on one side, then on the other. Let others seek freely. Your first steps do not take place between one abyss and another, but between two footprints: your own.
358) Proceed along the path, travel through form. Forget the Way, travel through form. The Way? What is it? Form!
359) Listen to the sounds of the universe. They are your steps, your breathing, your heartbeat. Listen to them! Their meaning lies in the silence. The meaning of Silence.
