That the soft overcomes the hard, and the yielding overcomes the resistant, is a fact known by all, but practiced by few.
LaoziThe mature person perceives the fruitlessness of rigid, external methodologies; Remembering this, he keeps his attitude unstructured at all times and thus is always free to pursue the Integral Way. He studies the teachings of the masters. He dissolves all concepts of duality. He pours himself out in service to others.
Laozi
