Once you arrive {at a spontaneous awareness of the Great Oneness}, remember: it isn't necessary to struggle to maintain unity with it. All you have to do is participate in it.

If good happens, good; if bad happens, good.

The truly great ones rely on substance, and not on surface, hold on to the fruit, and not to the flower.

. . . the mind is desperate to fix the river {of events} in place: Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, it overlooks the plain truth of the moment.

Those who seek knowledge, collect something every day. Those who seek the Way, let go of something every day.

Supreme good is like water. Water greatly benefits all things, without conflict. It flows through places that people loathe. Thereby it is close to the Way.

A follower of the Way (Tao) loses something each day. Loss after loss until arriving at Non Action (Wu Wei).
