In the end, The treasure of life is missed by those who hold on and gained by those who let go
LaoziBy steadily disciplining the animal nature, until it becomes one pointed, it is possible to establish conscious awareness of The Eternal.
LaoziTherefore the Sage embraces Unity, and is a model for all under Heaven. He is free from self-display, therefore he shines forth; from self-assertion, therefore he is distinguished; from self-glorification, therefore he has merit; from self-exaltation, therefore he rises superior to all. Inasmuch as he does not strive, there is no one in the world who can strive with him.
Laozi
