Most of the world's religions serve only to strengthen attachments to false concepts such as self and other, life and death, heaven and earth, and so on. Those who become entangled in these false ideas are prevented from perceiving the Integral Oneness.

Knowing that you do not know is the best. Not knowing that you do not know is an illness.

Those who show off do not shine.

The Tao is like a well; used but never used up.

Meandering leads to perfection.

Those who know when it is enough will not perish.
