Open Mind, Open Heart discussion

Verse 26:

The heavy is the root of the light. The still is the master of unrest.

Realizing this, the successful person is poised and centered in the midst of all activities; although surrounded by opulence, he is not swayed.

Why should the lord of the country flit about like a fool? If you let yourself be blown to and fro, you lose touch with your root. To be restless is to lose one's self-mastery.

Wise folks choose their battles carefully and don't let themselves get caught up in pointless dispoutes. The wise doesn't trouble himself with "things", aquiring "stuff." They are concerned about the essential, basic needs. Last verse says to me to stay focused on what's important, don't get sidetracked.
