To the
ordinary being,
others often require tolerance.
To the highly evolved being, there is no
such thing as tolerance, because there is no
such thing as other. She has given up all
ideas of individuality and extended
her goodwill without prejudice
in every direction.

Greed for
enlightenment and
immortality is no different
than greed for material wealth.
It is self-centered and dualistic, and
thus an obstacle to true attainment.
Therefore these states are never
achieved by those who covet
them; rather, they are
the reward of the
virtuous.
If you
wish to become
a divine immortal angel,
then restore the angelic qualities
of your being through virtue
and service.
This is the only
way to gain the attention
of the immortals who teach the
methods of energy enhancement
and integration that enable
one to reach the
divine realm.
These angelic
teachers cannot be sought out;
it is they who seek out the student.
When you succeed in connecting your
energy with the divine realm through
high awareness and the practice of
undiscriminating virtue, the
transmission of the
ultimate subtle
truths will
follow.
This is the path that all angels
take to the divine realm.

If you try
to grab hold of the
world and do what you want
with it, you won’t
succeed.
The world
is a vessel for spirit,
and it wasn’t made to be manipulated.
Tamper with it and you’ll spoil it.
Hold it, and you’ll
lose it.
With tao,
sometimes you move ahead
and sometimes you stay back; sometimes
you work hard and sometimes you rest; sometimes
you’re strong and sometimes you’re weak;
sometimes you’re up; sometimes
you’re down.
The sage
remains alert, avoiding
extremes, avoiding extravagance,
avoiding excess.

Humility is the
root of greatness. Those in high
positions do well to think of themselves
as powerless, small and
unworthy.
Isn’t this
taking humility for the root?
Attain honor without being honored.
Don’t shine like jade, or
chime like bells.

When the water returns
to its original oneness with the river,
it no longer has any individual feeling to
it; it resumes its own nature, and finds
composure. How very glad the
water must be to come
back to the original
river!
If this is so,
what feeling will we have
when we die? I think we are like the water
in the dipper. We will have composure then, perfect
composure. It may be too perfect for us, just now, because
we are so much attached to our own feeling, to our
individual existence. For us, just now, we have
some fear of death, but after we resume
our true original nature,
there is Nirvana.
