When there is no desire, all things are at peace

Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.

A good person is the bad person's teacher. A bad person is the good person's task.

A good mooring needs no knot, still no one can untie it.

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.

Ever desireless, one can see the mystery. Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations. These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gate to all mystery.

There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent.
