A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is. Thus the Master is available to all people and doesn't reject anyone. He is ready to use all situations and doesn't waste anything. This is called embodying the light. What is a good man but a bad man's teacher? What is a bad man but a good man's job? If you don't understand this, you will get lost, however intelligent you are. It is the great secret.

The sage is one with the world, and lives in harmony with it.

Know honor, Yet keep humility. Be the valley of the universe! Being the valley of the universe, Ever true and resourceful, Return to the state of the uncarved block.

The sage's Way is to act and not to contend.

The sage acts without taking credit. He accomplishes without dwelling on it. He does not want to display his worth.

Intelligent people know others. Enlightened people know themselves.

The Way that can be walked is not the eternal Way.
