Instead of being afraid of death, we should try to awake to life; and the only death we should escape from is to forget the presence of God into us.
LaoziWorlds and particles, bodies and beings, time and space: All are transient expressions of the Tao.
LaoziAccept 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.
LaoziThose who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know. Close your mouth, block off your senses, blunt your sharpness, untie your knots, soften your glare, settle your dust. This is the primal identity. Be like the Tao. It can't be approached or withdrawn from, benefited or harmed, honored or brought into disgrace. It gives itself up continually. That is why it endures.
Laozi
