Therefore [Buddhist adepts] try to be of service uncriticzingly,
selflessly, not adapting things to themselves but themselves to
things, and paying attention less to what they do than how they do
it, letting things be and trying to make the best of them.

On the quiet they work at themsleves.  With others they are
indulgent, with themselves not. They begin in a small and modest
way, knowing that only so can they master greater difficulties.
