The greater your love,
the greater your moral. If we are forced
to be virtuous according to a certain principle,
a certain regulation, certain laws or rules, then that
is not real virtue. It must come from the depths
of our heart; our own heart must
teach us the true moral.
What good
is it to spend your life
accumulating material things?
It isn’t in keeping with the Tao. What
benefit in conforming your behavior to someone’s
conventions? It violates your nature and dissipates
your energy. Why separate your spiritual life
and your practical life? To an integral
being, there is no such
distinction.
Live simply
and virtuously, true to
your nature, drawing no line
between what is spiritual and what is
not. Ignore time. Relinquish ideas and
concepts. Embrace the Oneness.
This is the Integral
Way.

Do you think
you can clear your mind
by sitting constantly in silent
meditation? This makes
your mind narrow,
not clear.
Integral awareness is
fluid and adaptable, present in all
places and at all times. That is
true meditation.
Who can attain
clarity and simplicity by
avoiding the world? The Tao is clear
and simple, and it doesn’t
avoid the world.
Why not simply honor
your parents, love your children, help
your brothers and sisters, be faithful to your
friends, care for your mate with devotion, complete
your work cooperatively and joyfully, assume responsibility
for problems, practice virtue without first demanding
it of others, understand the highest truths yet
retain an ordinary manner?
That would be true clarity,
true simplicity, true
mastery.

Tao gives
life to all beings.
Nature nourishes them.
Fellow creatures shape them.
Circumstances complete them.
Everything in existence respects tao and
honors nature — not by decree,
but spontaneously.
Tao gives life to all beings.
Nature watches over them, develops them,
shelters them, nurses them, grows them, ripens
them, completes them, buries them,
and returns them.
Giving birth,
nourishing life, shaping things
without possessing them, serving without
expectation of reward, leading without dominating:
These are the profound virtues of nature,
and of nature’s best beings.

Dualistic thinking is
a sickness. Religion is a distortion.
Materialism is cruel. Blind spirituality is unreal.
Chanting is no more holy than listening to the murmur
of a stream, counting prayer beads no more sacred
than simply breathing, religious robes
no more spiritual than
work clothes.
If you wish
to attain oneness with the tao,
don’t get caught up in spiritual superficialities.
Instead, live a quiet and simple life, free of ideas and
concepts. Find contentment in the practice
of undiscriminating virtue, the only
true power.
Giving to others
selflessly and anonymously,
radiating light throughout the world
and illuminating your own darknesses,
your virtue becomes a sanctuary
for yourself and all beings.
This is what is meant by
embodying the
tao.
