If the Way is made clear, it is not the Way.

A man who knows he is a fool is not a great fool.

The right way to go easy is to forget the right way.

Goods and possessions are no gain in his eyes. He stays far from wealth and honor. Long life is no ground for joy, nor early death for sorrow. Success is not for him to be pround of, failure is no shame. Had he all the world's power he would not hold it as his own. If he conquered everything he would not take it to himself. His glory is in knowing that all things come together in One and life and death are equal.

The raven hatches its young; the fish spew forth their eggs; the slim-waisted wasp transforms, and when a younger brother comes along the elder brother weeps. For too long I have not been able to work in harmony with these changes. So, given that I did not play my part in harmony with others, how could I expect to change people?

Let everything be allowed to do what it naturally does, so that its nature will be satisfied.

Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty and waits on all things.
