Deluded
people fill the world.
If you’re determined to join
the buddhas instead, then
don’t linger with what
is trivial and
shallow.
Annihilate ignorance.
Rescue the suffering.
Take up the responsibility
for eliminating all that
obstructs the
Way.
You
can now buy
Wei wu Wei Ching as part of a
five-app bundle of Taoist classics

When there is
a pleasant state, there is
an unpleasant state in contrast.
When there is a good situation, there
is one that is not good to replace it.
Only an ordinary, simple life
is a comfortable
nest.
Sattva, the activity that always results in good, is the controlled activity, when we have a rein over it. This is the most difficult to attain, and needs the work and effort of a whole lifetime. All the saints and sages have had to journey through these grades and learn from experience, and they understand how difficult it is to attain control over our activity in life.
There are two ways in which we may attain control over our activity. The first is confidence in the power of our own will; to know that if we have failed today, tomorrow we will not do so. The second is to have our eyes wide open, and to watch keenly our activity in all aspects of life. It is in the dark that we fall, but in the light we can see where we are going.
Let
your mind wander
in the pure and simple. Be one
with the infinite. Let all
things take their
course.
Those people
who actually realize it just
keep serene and free at all times,
without cravings, without
dependence.
