Without desire there is stillness, and the world settles by itself.

Yielding, like ice about to melt.

Through return to simple living comes control of desires. In control of desires stillness is attained. In stillness the world is restored.

Water does not force its way.

If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart.

To be constantly without desire is the way to have a vision of the mystery of heaven and earth. For constantly to have desire is the means by which their limitations are seen.

The wise person dines on something more subtle: He eats the understanding that the named was born from the unnamed, that all being flows from non-being, that the describable world emanates from an indescribable source.
