be free of all worldly affairs
You are no different from buddha.
There is no other dharma. Simply let your mind
be carefree. You do not need to contemplate your action
and to purify your mind. Let your mind be boundless and without
any obstruction. Be free from going and coming. Whether you
walk or stay, sit or lie down, and whatever you see or
meet, all are the subtle functions of buddha.
It is joy without sorrow. This is
called buddha.
When
the world practices Tao,
horses fertilize the fields. When
the world ignores Tao,
horses are bred for
war.
There is no
greater calamity than
desire, no greater curse than greed.
Know that enough is enough,
and you’ll always have
enough.

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.

In ancient times, people lived holistic lives. They didn’t overemphasize the intellect, but integrated mind, body, and spirit in all things. This allowed them to become masters of knowledge rather than victims of concepts.
If a new invention appeared, they looked for the troubles it might cause as well as the shortcuts it offered. They valued old ways that had been proven effective, and they valued new ways if they could be proven effective.
If you want to stop being confused, then emulate these ancient folk: join your body, mind, and spirit in all you do. Choose food, clothing, and shelter that accords with nature. Rely on your own body for transportation. Allow your work and your recreation to be one and the same. Do exercise that develops your whole being and not just your body. Listen to music that bridges the three spheres of your being. Choose leaders for their virtue rather than their wealth or power. Serve others and cultivate yourself simultaneously.
Understand that true growth comes from meeting and solving the problems of life in a way that is harmonizing to yourself and to others. If you can follow these simple old ways, you will be continually renewed.
