Great indeed is the sublimity of the creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

The sage wears clothes of coarse cloth but carries jewels in his bosom; He knows himself but does not display himself; He loves himself but does not hold himself in high esteem.

Approach your own inner life with a loving quality that accepts who you are without trying to change who you are.

If you can let go of (the Tao) with your mind and surround it with your heart, it will live inside you forever.

Be still. Stillness reveals the secrets of eternity

. . . These are notions of the mind, which is like a knife, always chipping away at the Tao, trying to render it graspable and manageable. But that which is beyond form is ungraspable, and that which is beyond knowing is unmanageable. There is, however, this consolation: She who lets go of the knife will find the Tao at her fingertips.

Can you open and close the gate of Heaven and act like a woman?
