Lay plans for the accomplishment of the difficult before it becomes difficult; make something big by starting with it when small.

Complete your task. Seek no reward. Make no claims. Without faltering fully choose to do what you must do.

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.

To bear and not to own; to act and not lay claim; to do the work and let it go: for just letting it go is what makes it stay.

Knowing others is to be clever. Knowing yourself is to be enlightened. Overcoming others requires force. Overcoming yourself requires strength.

Accept disgrace willingly... Accept being unimportant... Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.

When you accept yourself, the Universe accepts you.
