the tao of heaven is impartial
In the
reconciling of resentments,
ill will often lingers. What’s the good
in that? The person who is truly good concerns
herself with what she owes others, never
with what they owe her. The tao of
heaven is impartial. If you
perpetuate it, it
perpetuates
you.

insight is a function of the spirit
Intellectual
knowledge exists in
and of the brain. Because the brain is
part of the body, which must one day expire,
this collection of facts, however large
and impressive, will expire
as well.
Insight,
however, is a function of
the spirit. Because your spirit follows
you through cycle after cycle of life, death,
and rebirth, you have the opportunity of cultivating
insight in an ongoing fashion. Refined over time,
insight becomes pure, constant, and
unwavering. This is the beginning
of immortality.

marry yourself to the oneness
Can you
marry your spirit and
body to the oneness and
never depart
from it?
Can you
ride your breath until
your entire being is as supple
as the body of an
infant?
Can you cleanse
your inner vision until you
see heaven in every
direction?
Can you love
people and govern them
without conniving and
manipulating?
Can you bear
heaven’s children in all
that you do and
are?
Can you give
the wisdom of your heart
precedence over the
learning of your
head?
Giving birth,
nourishing life,
shaping things without
possessing them, serving without
expectation of reward, leading without
dominating: these are the profound
virtues of nature, and of nature’s
best beings.

the greatest teacher
The highest truth
cannot be put into words.
Therefore the greatest teacher has
nothing to say. He simply gives
himself in service, and
never worries.
