The one who does not honor the teacher and the one who does not honor the task, although ever so knowledgeable, they are confused.

What is well planted will not be uprooted.

The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings. The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that is why she is one with them. Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled.

Surrender your self-interest. Love others as much as you love yourself. Then you can be entrusted with all things under heaven.

The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to yin and yang. Yin and yang give birth to all things... The complete whole is the complete whole. So also is any part the complete whole... But forget about understanding and harmonizing and making all things one. The universe is already a harmonious oneness; just realize it.

Seeing the small is called clarity.

Great, it passes on (in constant flow).
