The notion of
enlightenment means, “not bound”.
Not bound to what? Not bound to one’s own
mind in ordinary ways; not bound in confusion
to all the suffering that one’s mind
has produced and is
experiencing.

keep your heart clear
Keep your heart clear and
transparent and you will never be bound.
A single disturbed thought, though, creates ten thousand
distractions. Let myriad things captivate you and you’ll
go further and further astray. How painful to
see people all wrapped up in
themselves.
tao te ching ☯️ chapter 60
Governing
a large country is like
cooking a small fish. If it’s done
in accordance with Tao,
nothing bad will
happen.
Guide
the world with Tao,
and evil won’t be a problem.
Not that it won’t be around, but it won’t
find an opening. When it can’t find
an opening, it can’t harm
anyone.
The sage
doesn’t harm anyone,
either. When there’s no harm on
this side, no harm on that,
goodness flows back
and forth like
water.

channel your energy toward the light
Don’t
think you can attain
total awareness and whole enlightenment
without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania.
Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life
energy toward the light. Without the discipline
to practice them, you will tumble
constantly backward into
darkness.
Here is
the great secret:
Just as high awareness
of the subtle truth is gained through
virtuous conduct and sustaining disciplines,
so also is it maintained through these
things. Highly evolved beings
know and respect the
truth of this.
