Among the ordinary, there is the extraordinary

Just as there are no trees in places that are too high,

people who believe they are the greatest are like high mountains

where trees cannot grow for they have no one around them.

One who has a large open mind without self can accept everything.

One who is Truth without self achieves ultimate love and intimacy with people.

He loves all has great mercy and compassion and treats others with great love.

Among the ordinary, there is the extraordinary.

A distinguished person thinks only he is excellent and supreme

but the ordinary person can accept everything with the greatest mind,

and live with the extraordinary and remarkable wisdom of nature's flow.

He who lives in harmony with the people in the world with true love is the extraordinary one,

but no one knows this man is extraordinary.

One who enjoys being exalted cannot live in harmony for only he is excellent.

He is the foolish one for he lives with his own standards of what is good and what is bad.

All is one.

He who is liked by everyone, 

he who has no thorns, 

no ill will in his mind,

he who sees everything as it is,

he who sees others just as they are

even with all their faults,

and he who has no mind of his self

is the extraordinary one.

Among the ordinary, there is the extraordinary.

The ordinary is the greatest,

the most distinguished and sublime perfection,

but no one knows this for there is no one who is truly ordinary.

One who is ordinary can accept everything for he has a large, open mind.
