make myself an empty

When the government is
dull and sleepy, people are wholesome
and good. When the government is sharp and
exacting, people are cunning
and mean.
Good rests upon bad.
Bad hides within good.
Who knows where the
turning point is?
Whether government or
person, if you aren’t tranquil and honest, the
normal flips to the abnormal, the auspicious reverts
to the bizarre, and your bewilderment
lasts for a long time.
Therefore the sage
does what is right without acting
righteous, points without piercing,
straightens without straining,
enlightens without
dazzling.

How much freedom
is gained if a man ignores what
his neighbor said or did or intended
and considers only what he himself is doing
and how to make his actions just and right, the
kind of things a good man would do! Don’t let
your attention be caught by the darkness
of others’ movements; just run straight
on the line, with no ungainly
movements.
Without thought,
without mind, without self,
there is only freedom. The direct,
reliable, and perfect means of
achieving this is to become
wholly absorbed in
the breath.

Do not ever fight or argue,
because for God there are no fights
or arguments. For that One everything is love,
everything is in the form of love, compassion,
and truth. May God provide you with
the blessings and grace to live
in that state.
