a cool pile of ashes in the corner

nps

 

The present

moment is the source of

everything. As long as you have

resentments about the past or ideas

about the future, you cannot

genuinely be in the

present.

 

You owe it

to your future self, and

to the rest of us, to be completely

absorbed here and now. Make all

notions of past and future a

cool pile of ashes in

the corner.

all the myriad things make one whole

it’s gonna be okay honey bunny

 

All the myriad things

are neither opposed to nor contrary

to your true self. Directly pass through to

freedom and they make one whole.

It has been this way from time

without beginning.

 

The only problem

is when people put themselves

in opposition to it and spurn it and impose

orientations of grasping or rejecting, creating a

concern where there is none. This is

precisely why they are not

joyfully alive.

do not resist difficulties

Do not resist

difficulties or advance against them.

By retreating and observing, you learn an

important lesson. Then moving

forward becomes easy.

those who follow tao

always at peace

 

Those who follow

Tao strive for perfection,

but they are wary about being called

prophets. That is a limited role. Being a prophet

represents a great trap baited with the temptation of

self-importance. The ultimate aim of following

Tao is to transcend identity. Those who call

themselves prophets or even masters

maximize their identities.

 

It is far better

not to be a prophet, and to

eschew the responsibilities, limitations,

and temptations. It is far better to be obscure

and to be thought stupid. Having someone call you

by a title is an interference that you don’t need.

When you are seeing the greatest wonder

of your life, the last thing you want

is to have someone blocking

the light.
