love your life, trust the tao

PichiAvo

 

With all

this talking, what has

been said? The subtle truth can

be pointed at with words, but

it can’t be contained

by them. 

 

Take time

to listen to what is said

without words, to obey the law

too subtle to be written, to worship the

unnameable and to embrace the unformed.

Love your life. Trust the Tao. Make love

with the invisible subtle origin of the

universe, and you will give

yourself everything

you need. 

 

You won’t

have to hide away

forever in spiritual retreats.

You can be a gentle, contemplative hermit

right here in the middle of everything, utterly

unaffected, thoroughly sustained and

rewarded by your integral

practices. 

 

Encouraging others,

giving freely to all, awakening and

purifying the world with each movement

and action, you’ll ascend to the

divine realm in broad

daylight. 

 

The breath of

the Tao speaks, and

those who are in harmony

with it hear quite

clearly.

she who is filled with goodness

all good comes when we are innocent

 

She

who is filled with

goodness is like a newborn child:

wasps and snakes will not bite it, fierce

beasts will not attack it, birds of

prey will not pounce

on it.

 

Its

bones are soft

and its muscles weak,

but its grip is firm. It hasn’t yet

known the union of male and female,

yet its organ stirs with vitality.

It can howl all day without

becoming hoarse,

so perfect is its

harmony.

 

To

know harmony is to

know the eternal.  To know

the eternal is to be

inspired.

 

Prolonging

life is not harmonious.

Coercing the breath is unnatural.

Things which are overdeveloped must

decay.  All this is contrary to Tao,

and whatever is contrary

to Tao soon ceases

to be.

in quiet acceptance


 

Withdraw from

the desires of your ego for

luxury and recognition. Sincerity

and simplicity are inevitably

rewarded by the

Sage.

 

By discarding

the use of false power,

one gains a view of the path to true

power. In quiet acceptance there lie

a grace and a strength that

overcome all

else.

Acceptance and inner balance

move mountains that striving cannot.

The fruit of good fortune springs

conduct.
