something most highly honored
In the world,
something is most highly
honored, and it is not power and position;
something is most highly valued, and it is not gold
and jade; something has the most longevity,
and it is not a lifetime of a
thousand years.
To return your heart to its
original nature is most
highly honored.
translated by John S. Major & Sarah A. Queen
quietly accept the unknown
Do not attempt
to force a good feeling into place.
Patiently let go of doubt, fear, anger, and distrust.
The Sage aids those who quietly accept
the Unknown.

the tao doesn’t avoid the world
Do you think
you can clear your mind
by sitting constantly in silent
meditation? This makes
your mind narrow,
not clear.
Integral awareness is
fluid and adaptable, present in all
places and at all times. That is
true meditation.
Who can attain
clarity and simplicity by
avoiding the world? The Tao is clear
and simple, and it doesn’t
avoid the world.
Why not simply honor
your parents, love your children, help
your brothers and sisters, be faithful to your
friends, care for your mate with devotion, complete
your work cooperatively and joyfully, assume responsibility
for problems, practice virtue without first demanding
it of others, understand the highest truths yet
retain an ordinary manner?
That would be true clarity,
true simplicity, true
mastery.

stillness in both thought and deed
Perseverance in stillness,
in both thought and deed, forms a
noble heart. The ultimate fruit of a noble
heart is complete peace
of mind.
