the wise person puts himself last

please donate to world central kitchen

 

Heaven is

eternal, earth everlasting.

They endure this way because

they do not live for

themselves.

 

In the same way,

the wise person puts himself

last, and thereby finds himself first;

holds himself outside, and thereby

remains at the center; abandons

himself, and is thereby

fulfilled.

the tao of heaven is impartial

todd bretl

 

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. 

 

from The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu,

insight is a function of the spirit

papa

 

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

clark little

 

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.
