The tao is the law of nature,
which you can’t depart from for even one
instant. If you could depart from it, it wouldn’t be the tao.
Thus the mature person looks into her own heart and respects
what is unseen and unheard. Nothing is more manifest than
the hidden; nothing is more obvious than the unseen.
Thus the mature person pays attention to what
is happening in his inmost self.

The teaching
of the Integral Way will go on
as long as there is a tao and someone who
wishes to embody it; what is painted in
these scrolls today will appear in
different forms in many
generations to
come.
These things,
however, will never change:
Those who wish to attain oneness must
practice undiscriminating virtue. They must
dissolve all ideas of duality: good and bad, beautiful
and ugly, high and low. They will be obliged to abandon
any mental bias born of cultural or religious belief.
Indeed, they should hold their minds free
of any thought which interferes with
their understanding of the
universe as a harmonious
oneness.
The
beginning
of these practices is
the beginning of
liberation.

Good
and bad, self
and others, life and death:
Why affirm these concepts? Why
deny them? To do either is to exercise
the mind, and the integral being knows
that the manipulations of the mind
are dreams, delusions, and
shadows.
Hold
one idea, and
another competes with it.
Soon the two will be in conflict
with a third, and in time your
life is all chatter and
contradiction.
Seek
instead to keep
your mind undivided.

Emptiness is without characteristics.
Illumination has no emotional afflictions.
With piercing, quietly profound radiance,
it mysteriously eliminates all disgrace.
Thus one can know oneself; thus
the self is completed.
We all have the clear,
wondrously bright field from the beginning.
Many lifetimes of misunderstanding come only from
distrust, hindrance, and screens of confusion that we create
in a scenario of isolation. With boundless wisdom
journey beyond this, forgetting
accomplishments.
Straightforwardly abandon stratagems
and take on responsibility. Having turned yourself around,
accepting your situation, if you set foot on the path, spiritual energy
will marvelously transport you. Contact phenomena with
total sincerity, not a single atom of dust
outside yourself.
