Then as I got on the bus the miracle(奇迹)of (51)A kindness happened.When I was to (52)D the fare,the bus driver said with a smile,"Madam,I saw what you just did and your (53)D is on me."
I (54)D my thanks and was about to sit down when a lady dressed in a business suit said to me,"You just did the most (55)Cthing I have ever seen.What can I do for you?"I jokingly said a (56)A job would be nice.She asked for my name and said she might be able to (57)A something out.

You have to train yourself to be very(43)flexible.Staying at one level is not being a free man.If we stay at a very high level all the time,that is not practical.A limitless person goes (44)freelyfrom one level of thinking to another,according to his circumstances.To do this we must get rid of our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior,become friends with everyone,and have the same loving feelings for everyone.Then we can give advice to all kinds of people.If there is someone or something you dislike,you are still(45)limited,and your ability to give advice is reduced.For anyone,the same.A free person acts like that.
You cannot stay with a sick person all the time.You must (46)respect a person's freedom as much as you can.If people really want to die,let them-it is their freedom.The point is never to become an authority(47)figure; remain a friend or advisor.People should not come back (48)repeatedlyfor consultation; if they do,your advice has been incomplete-you did not know how to give the (49)properadvice about freedom.If they do not understand that,sick people become slaves; they are still afraid inside,and are(50)dependent.That is no way to build a healthy world and help people become happy and free.
