Why separate your spiritual life and your practical life? To an integral being, there is no such distinction.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

Intelligent people know others. Enlightened people know themselves.

For one gains by losing And loses by gaining.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery, caught in the desire, you see only the manifestations.

Express yourself completely, then keep quiet. Be like the forces of nature: when it blows, there is only wind; when it rains, there is only rain; when the clouds pass, the sun shines through. If you open yourself to the Tao, you are at one with the Tao and you can embody it completely. If you open yourself to insight, you are at one with insight and you can use it completely. If you open yourself to loss, you are at one with loss and you can accept it completely. Open yourself to the Tao, then trust your natural responses; and everything will fall into place.

All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.
