Be kind to yourself! Enjoy life when you remember yourself. By being 'awakened' and the awareness of being will give invisible vibrations and energy to change things without knowing. Actions which include thinking and intention (called karma) have consequences. That's why sages of old live their lives without the intention of causing harms to other sentient beings. Good karmas without wanting (ego's reaction) it to be so.

That's why the Zen master says' action without acting!' or 'doing without doing anything'.

The mind is a wonder! Emptiness is the key! Do things with an empty mind; empty of 'our ego', only love and compassion will heal all.

The principles of righteousness still guide towards good karma/actions. Respect yourself and don't let others harm you, protect yourself and your loved ones before you can look after others. Just let go of the rubbish, choose only good finds for your 'house' or 'mind'.
