Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look out at the stars. This practice should answer the question..... The master settles her mind as the universe settles the stars in the sky. By connecting her mind with the subtle origin, she calms it. Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately her mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.

Whatever is flexible and living will tend to grow; whatever is rigid and blocked will wither and die.

New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

Force is followed by loss of strength. This is not the way of the Tao. That which goes against the Tao comes to an early end.

Tao loves and nourishes all things, but does not dominate it over them.

Empty your mind of all thoughts.

Without looking through the window, you can see Heaven's Way.
