ZhuangziLet your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.
ZhuangziWhen I talk about having good hearing, I don't mean just listening, but listening to yourself. When I talk about good eyesight, I don't mean just looking, but looking at yourself.
ZhuangziHeaven cannot but be high. Earth cannot but be broad. The sun and moon cannot but revolve. All creation cannot but flourish. To do so is their TAO.
