the sage has no set mind

melt and let go and rest

 

The sage has no set mind.

She adopts the concerns

of others as her own.

 

She is good to the good.

She is also good to the bad.

This is real goodness.

 

She trusts the trustworthy.

She also trusts the untrustworthy.

This is real trust.

 

The sage takes the minds

of the worldly and spins them around.

People drop their ideas and agendas,

and she guides them like

beloved children.

tao doesn’t lord over anything

the highest good is like water

 

The great Tao

floods and flows in every direction.

Everything in existence depends on it, and it doesn’t deny them.

It accomplishes its work without naming or making claims for itself.

Everything in existence is clothed and nourished by it,

but it doesn’t strain over anything.

Aimless, ambitionless, it might

be called “small.”

 

Everything in

existence returns to it,

and still it doesn’t lord over anything.

Thus it might also be called

“great.”

 

Because it has no desire to

be great, it can achieve 

greatness.

where does your mind come from?

the largest known structure in the universe

 

Good and evil all

arise from one’s own mind.


But tell me, besides your activities,


thoughts, and discrimination,
 what do you call

your own mind?
 Where does your mind come from?


If you can discern where your own mind comes from,


then boundless karmic obstruction
 will be cleared

away instantly,
 and all sorts of marvels will

come of themselves
 without

being sought.

 

Dahui

 

staying right at home

 

Arousal,

opinion, excitement,

anger — so easy to spark,

so impossible to govern. Prefer

instead to be impartial, unattached,

empty, silent, still. Staying right

at home, you can transcend

all phenomena and enjoy

complete peace.
