"Close your mouth,block off your senses,blunt your..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The real is empty and the empty real”

“If a country is governed with tolerance, the people are comfortable and honest. If a country is governed with repression, the people are depressed and crafty. When the will to power is in charge, the higher the ideals, the lower the results. Try to make people happy, and you lay the groundwork for misery. Try to make people moral, and you lay the groundwork for vice. Thus the Master is content to serve as an example and not to impose her will. She is pointed, but doesn't pierce. Straightforward, but supple. Radiant, but easy on the eyes.”

“Remember: if you can cease all restless activity, your integral nature will appear.”

“Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.”

“The more you nurture a feeling of loving kindness, the happier and calmer you will be.”

“Here's the gift of gratitude: In order to feel it, your ego has to take a backseat. What shows up in its place is greater compassion and understanding. Instead of being frustrated, you choose appreciation. And the more grateful you become, the more you have to be grateful for.”

“All your restlessness is out of your desire for stillness Just desire restlessly, then, love will fill and still you. All your unhealthiness is out of your desire for health, Just abandon health, then, even poison will heal you.”

“Through return to simple living comes control of desires. In control of desires stillness is attained. In stillness the world is restored.”

“Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river.”
