patiently let go and accept
Do not attempt
to force a good feeling into place.
Patiently let go of doubt, fear, anger,
and distrust. The Sage aids those
who quietly accept the
Unknown.
Perseverance in stillness,
in both thought and deed, forms
a noble heart. The ultimate fruit of
a noble heart is complete
peace of mind.

yield and you can stay centered
Allow yourself to yield,
and you can stay centered.
Allow yourself to bend, and you will
stay straight. Allow yourself to be empty, and
you’ll get filled up. Allow yourself to be exhausted,
and you’ll be renewed. Having little, you can receive
much. Having much, you’ll just become confused.
Therefore the sage embraces the oneness and
becomes a pattern for the
whole world.
She doesn’t display herself, so she becomes illuminated.
She doesn’t justify herself, so she becomes distinguished.
She doesn’t boast, so she is recognized.
She doesn’t claim credit, so she advances and endures.
She doesn’t contend, so no one can contend with her.
“Yield and you
can stay centered” —
Is this saying meaningless?
Stay whole, and all things
return to you.

the tao doesn’t avoid the world
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.
