【The meaning】
The heart to intend to enter the way is already your excellent master.
Maybe, you may start to walk the way somewhere sometime in your life.
A large way, a narrow way
A gentle way, a steep way
An ascent, a downhill path
A lively way, a desolate way
A bright way, a dark way
Even if the view from the entrance of the way is seen well, nobody know the true condition of the way.
The gate of the same name as the way is appeared in the beginning of the way.
There is the brought person in the gate.
There is the person whom somebody was accompanied by.
There is the person who arrived at by oneself.
There is the person who came over accidentally.
There is the person who brought hope.
There is the person who came to end of the despair.
There is the exhausted person.
Even if there is any kind of reason, it is responsibility only for you to enter the gate.
Because the gate was luxurious gorgeousness.
Because the gate was big.
Because you liked a design.
Because it was recommended to other people.
Because you seemed to be interesting.
Because your friends went earlier.
As for the start, only you are decided though nobody understands the end.
After it passes through the gate, it might be able to see the people who walk ahead if you are lucky.
However, you must not expect it.
You passed through the gate at the will of you.
You must have the will to study by yourself.
You should not have feelings that rely on others.
If you have a high will, you can learn everything necessary from the all things in nature.
That is the master who is living into your mind.
His advice is a very small voice. You hear it well.
But, please do not forget that
You must have honesty, etiquette and humbleness to demand teaching from another person.
Only a luckier person can encounter to the master.
Your time when high will collapsed is the dead day of the master of the heart.
For that case, you can't be helped even if there is the master of real existence.
I wish people have an immovable master in one's heart at least.
