regard the humble as exalted


 

Act by

not acting,

accomplish by not

straining, understand

by not knowing. Regard the

humble as exalted and the exalted

as humble. Remedy injury

with tranquil

repair.

 

Meet

the difficult while

it is still easy; cross the

universe one step at a time.

Because the sage doesn’t try

anything too big, she’s able

to accomplish big

things.

 

Those

who commit lightly

seldom come through.

Those who think everything

is easy will find everything hard.

The sage understands that

everything is difficult, and

thus in the end has no

difficulties.

freedom and quietude

just be still

 

The fun of roaming free

is endless, hard to exhaust. When tired

I sit on a mossy bank, unaware of the cold sun falling

in my love for the cool of the breeze in the pines. Deer descend

to drink of the valley streams; monkeys arrive to pick of

the mountain fruits. What I originally valued were

freedom and quietude; why should

I require that people

know of me?

the myriad things are peaceful

dream baby dream

 

Haven’t you

read the ancient worthy’s saying?

“The white clouds are clear and still, and the rivers

flow into the blue sea. The myriad things are

originally peaceful, but people

make trouble for

themselves.”

 

After all,

this statement is completely

accurate and true. If you know what it means

as soon as you hear it mentioned, you can use it to pass

through birth and death to freedom and no longer be obstructed

by the psycho-physical nexus. You will be like a bird getting

out of a cage — independent and free. With a single

stroke you put a stop to all other actions and

talk, and you no longer fall into

secondary views.

 

Yuanwu

 

no such thing as other

trunk stuff

 

To the

ordinary being,

others often require tolerance.

To the highly evolved being, there is no

such thing as tolerance, because there is no

such thing as other. She has given up all

ideas of individuality and extended

her goodwill without prejudice

in every direction.
