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.

It (Tao) is eternally without desire. So, it can be called small. All things return to it, although it does not make itself their ruler. So, it can be called great.

Stop leaving and you will arrive, Stop searching and you will see, Stop running away and you will be found.

Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream.

All action begins in rest... This is the ultimate truth.

. . . integral wisdom involves a direct participation in every moment: the observer and the observed are dissolved in the light of pure awareness, and no mental concepts or attitudes are present to dim that light.

Be content with an ordinary life.
