Let him say
whatever he wants against me.
Let whoever come and say whatever.
Or let them worship me, bringing
their souls here like
flowers.
I’m not part of any of that.

In the
pursuit of learning,
every day something is added.
In the pursuit of tao, every day something
is dropped. Less and less is done,
until one arrives at
non-action.
When
nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.
The world is won by letting
things take their own course.
If you still have ambitions,
it’s out of your
reach.

Let
your mind wander
in the pure and simple. Be one
with the infinite. Let all
things take their
course.
Do you wish
to free yourself of mental
and emotional knots and become one
with the Tao? If so, there are
two paths available
to you.
The first is
the path of acceptance.
Affirm everyone and everything.
Freely extend your goodwill and virtue
in every direction, regardless of circumstances.
Embrace all things as part of the Harmonious
Oneness, and then you will begin
to perceive it.
The second path
is that of denial. Recognize that
everything you see and think is a falsehood,
an illusion, a veil over the truth. Peel all the veils away,
and you will arrive at the Oneness. Though these
paths are entirely different, they will deliver
you to the same place: spontaneous
awareness of the Great
Oneness.
Once you
arrive there, remember:
it isn’t necessary to struggle to
maintain unity with it.
All you have to do is
rest in it.

We
always demonstrate
our consciousness. We always
demonstrate what we habitually have
in our mind. What sort of mind have you?
Examine your conditions and see
what you are demonstrating.
This method is scientific
and infallible.
