Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.
Lao TzuTags: philosophy taoism
A good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving.
A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.
A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is.
Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn't reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
and doesn't waste anything.
This is called embodying the light.
What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man's job?
If you don't understand this, you will get lost,
however intelligent you are.
It is the great secret.
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
Lao TzuAllow the heart to empty itself of all turmoil! Retrieve the utter tranquility of the mind from which you issued.
Although all forms are dynamic,and we all grow and transform,each of us is compelled to return to our root. Our root is quietude.
We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds
whatever we want.
To Know others is perceptive,
to know yourself is wise.
To conquer others is forceful,
to conquer yourself is strong.
Our enemies are not demons, but human beings like ourselves
Lao TzuHow could a decent person ever rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men
Lao TzuThe master leads
by emptying people's minds
and filling their cores,
by weakening their ambition
and toughening their resolve.
Water is fluid, soft
