Appetite for food and sex is nature.

All men desire to free themselves solely from death; they do not know how to free themselves from life.

Peacefulness is an inner sense of calm - it comes from becoming still - in order to reflect and meditate on our inner wisdom and receive answers. A peaceful heart is one that is free from worry and rouble. It's becoming quiet so we can look at things quietly so we can more clearly understand them and thus come up with creative solutions. It is learning to live in the present. Freedom from desire leads to inner peace.

Knowing that we don't know it's humility; thinking that we know what we don't know, is sickness.

The inner is the foundation of the outer. The still is master of the restless. The Sage travels all day yet never leaves his inner treasure.

Activity conquers coldness. Stillness conquers heat.

The sage is one with the world, and lives in harmony with it.
