Hard and Rigid Is Bad from “The Path” by Konosuke Matsush*ta
https://konosuke-matsush*ta.com/en/
If you huddle rigidly in a confined place, your legs will soon ache and become numb. Your body becomes cramped and moves with difficulty. Lacking the capacity for refined manners may be a problem, but being rigid is worse. We should strive to maintain a capacity for creativity and free and easy movement.

Rigidity is bad whatever the context. Physical rigidity is not healthy, but mental inflexibility is worse. When the mind ceases to be supple, it no longer provides useful answers.

There are various ways of looking at things, and there is no one way that is always valid and correct. We have to be able to adjust our perspectives depending on the rime and the situation or place.

When our minds become hardened, we lose this capacity to shift our perspective. We adhere to a single viewpoint and that limits our freedom of movement and judgment; we can become stuck in one place. When that happens we cannot hope to achieve new growth or development.

The myriad things of the world are different every day; they are constantly changing. Their appearance today is different from how they looked yesterday. We are part of this process of change; we have to constantly adjust to meet the new perspectives of each day.

We should encourage each other to avoid rigidity and open up our minds to see things clearly and think flexibly.

The Power Within Us from “The Path” by Konosuke Matsush*ta
https://konosuke-matsush*ta.com/en/
The path of life for some people may appear to stretch our smooth and wide; for others it seems to be a rugged road of many ups and downs. The way people view life differs greatly from one to another.

In our daily lives, we hardly think of life as going forward smoothly. It appears to be full of ups and downs and twists and turns. For every difficulty we tackle and overcome, another lies ahead. There is no time to gaze about or even catch our breath before we face the next challenge. Indeed, our daily lives are witness that this, indeed, is the nature of life itself.

One wonders, however, how the lives of human beings appear from the viewpoint of the divine. Could it be that, in the larger scheme of things, what appears to us to be constant turmoil and trouble is actually quite a smooth and even way? Have our lives, which ought to have unfolded without trouble, been rendered rough and tumble, up and down, our of our own shortcomings and shortsightedness?

Eventually we will see life for what it really is. In the meantime we can merely make our way earnestly, as best we can. It is this commitment to the power within us that lights the path of our lives, whether the way be rough or smooth.

“Put Intuition to Work”

Swordsmen face off. Breaking the tension, the sharp blades clash and fly apart as the adversaries lunge and parry in movements too rapid for the eye to follow. Their movements are not methodically thought our or logically reasoned. They do not think to themselves one step at a time such things as: the opponent’s sword came from the right side so I’ll parry that to the right. Rather, observing the subtlest movement and sign, the swordsman’s body springs into action, responding intuitively with a flash of movement that meets the attach instantaneously.
Some people may think of intuition as something not very scientific and certainly hard to define, but intuition that grows out of rigorous and continued training can achieve results even more accurate and appropriate than what can be calculated scientifically. What human beings can achieve through training is tremendous.
Most of the scientific discoveries and visions of our world are the result of the superlative intuition of scientists based on long years of training and constant effort to base their intuitive notions in scientific principles and apply them in practice. In essence, therefore, science and intuition are not mutually exclusive at all.
The key is training – practice. We should strive to treasure and make better use of our intuition and to accumulate as much experience as we can.

Even when the results of a project are 99 percent in,

If one leaves the remaining 1 percent unfinished and inconclusive,

Everything that was accomplished could be undone.

It is always better to check things once more,

To be absolutely sure the job has been completed to your satisfaction,

Than to later remember with regret that something was left unattended.

In the midst of our busy days,

And before we find ourselves facing unexpected worries,

We should try to find time to reflect in quiet about the ways we do things,

And consider how we can achieve our goals in ways

That will rise above petty scheming and overly complex planning.

The old proverb that

“It takes only one spooked horse to start a stampede”

Touches on a phenomenon by no means limited to horses.

Among human beings, too, just one person who picks up a misguided idea can easily lead many others down the wrong path.

Particularly when the idea is in some way connected with personal interests or gain,

It can throw off people’s judgment,

Leading them to fix upon the small but immediate gains before them.

Even 60 percent certainty is enough if we consider things humbly and earnestly

And equip ourselves with the courage and capacity

To turn it into 100 percent success.

Good luck and bad luck come back to back in life.

No one can predict when suddenly we may be buffeted by strong winds.

The best you can do is to keep your eye calmly on those around you

And make sure that all are alert and aware of changes in conditions.

If people know by perceptiveness and good judgment what their leader expects of them, they will each be capable of proceeding at the proper time and in the proper way, even without being told what to do.

Their efforts will have flexibility and dynamism with the potential for endless growth and development.

In order to achieve that kind of dynamism, a leader has to listen to what those following have to say, even before any orders are issued.

Listening and asking of questions should come first.

You need to know where their thinking differs from yours, and you should talk with them sufficiently so that they understand what you want to accomplish.

Once you have won acceptance for a decision about to be made, then you should go ahead and make the decision work, one way or another.

If those receiving the orders are convinced that they are necessary, their understanding will be that much deeper and more flexible.

If they do not grasp what their orders are for or why, any effort they make to do what is required will be rigid and lifeless.

Giving orders is by no means as easy as it might seem.

You can move ahead or you can stay where you are, but most important is deciding which it will be.

You yourself have to make the decision.

Whether or not the path you have taken is the best may not be all that certain – after all, you are not omniscient – but prolonged indecision is not good for yourself or for others; that alone is clear.

Determining our path through life, managing an enterprise – even something as awesome as administering the affairs of a state, are all priceless opportunities to make decisions that we should embrace.

When we shut our hearts to others or set ourselves apart from them,

All communication is cut off and we can neither cooperate with nor help each other.

When that happens, our society will be full of closed-minded, isolated individuals.

In this rapidly changing world, we should strive always to communicate with each other,

In good times as well as in bad, and always with an open mind an humble heart,

Endeavoring to understand each other and lend each other support.

No matter how divergent the political philosophies that govern a regime, what people consider important in terms of the basics of human behavior is surprisingly common from one country to another.

They concern matters that are important to all human beings, so they are rules found everywhere.

Lately there has been a tendency to consider rules and morals disagreeable and unpleasant,

But we should not be so naïve as to think that anyone can do without them.
