a treasure hidden inside

this magnificent heart, born on this day

 

Do not go

about worshipping

deities and religious institutions

as the source of the subtle truth.

To do so is to place intermediaries

between yourself and the divine,

and to make of yourself a beggar

who looks outside for a treasure

that is hidden inside his

own breast.

 

If you want to worship the tao,

first discover it in your own heart.

Then your worship will

be meaningful.

release and let go and flow

smilin’ steph gilmore

 

Forget the body.

Let go of sensations

and obsessions and objects.

Do non-doing to the point that thoughts

cease to arise. Releasing mental constructs and

emotional entanglements, you’ll begin

to flow as a sage. Then let go

of that notion on top

of everything

else.

returning to innocence

this is how you do it

 

It isn’t difficult to

become one with the Way.

How hard was it to be a baby?

But returning to innocence requires

intention. Drop your dark habits, your

ideas, your emotions, and allow an

opening for virtue and wisdom

to return. Do non-doing, and

goodness will inform

all you do.

heaven’s secret is motherly love

support sheldrick wildlife trust

 

Everyone

under heaven says that

my tao is great, but inconceivable. 

It is its very greatness that makes it inconceivable! 

If it could be conceived of, how small

it would be! 

 

I have three

treasures to hold and protect: 

The first is motherly love. The second

is economy. The third is daring

not to be first in the

world. 

 

With motherly

love one can be courageous. 

With economy one can be expansive. 

With humility one

can lead. 

 

To be

courageous without motherly love, 

To be expansive without practicing economy, 

To go to the front without humility — 

this is courting death. 

 

Venture with

love and you win the

battle. Defend with love and you are

invulnerable. Heaven’s secret is

motherly love.

Chapter 67
