When the uncarved wood is split, its parts are put to use. When the sage is put to use, he becomes the head.
LaoziReturning to the source is stillness. It is returning to one's fate. Returning to one's fate is eternal.
LaoziThe man of knowledge acquires something new everyday, and the man of Tao lets go of something new every day.
LaoziDo you think that you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear. Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times. That is true meditation. ... The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn't avoid the world.
