Laozi quotes - page 7
For all things difficult to acquire, the intelligent man works with perseverance.
Laozi
... Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom.
Laozi
A good manager is best when people barely know that he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despise him.
Laozi
... the mind is desperate to fix the river of events in place Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, it overlooks the plain truth of the moment.
Laozi
Going forward seems like retreat ...
Laozi
If you attach yourself to gross energies loving this person, hating that clan, rejecting one experience or habitually indulging in another then you will lead a series of heavy, attached lives. This can go on for a very long and tedious time.
Laozi
Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
Laozi
The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die.
Laozi
The cords of passion and desire weave a binding net around you. Worldly confrontation makes you stiff and inflexible. The trap of duality is tenacious. Bound, rigid, and trapped, you cannot experience liberation.
Laozi
Acting without design, occupying oneself without making a business of it, finding the great in what is small and the many in the few, repaying injury with kindness, effecting difficult things while they are easy, and managing great things in their beginnings this is the method of Tao.
Laozi
Some help others in order to receive blessings and admiration. This is simply meaningless. Some cultivate themselves in part to serve others, in part to serve their own pride. They will understand, at best, half of the truth. But those who improve themselves for the sake of the world to these, the whole truth of the universe will be revealed.
Laozi
Understand this if nothing else spiritual freedom and oneness with the Tao are not randomly bestowed gifts, but the rewards of conscious self-transformation and self-evolution.
Laozi
Remember if you can cease all restless activity, your integral nature will appear.
Laozi
Do not imagine that an integral being has the ambition of enlightening the unaware or raising worldly people to the divine realm. To her, there is no self and other, and hence no one to be raised no heaven and hell, and hence no destination.
Laozi
I confess that there is nothing to teach no religion, no science, no body of information which will lead your mind back to the Tao. Today I speak in this fashion, tomorrow in another, but always the Integral Way is beyond words and beyond mind.
Laozi
If people are not afraid of dying, why threaten them with death?
Laozi
By following this simple path, you become extraordinary, unfathomable, a being of profound cosmic subtlety. You outlive time and space by realizing the subtle truth of the universe.
Laozi
Pain and happiness are simply conditions of the ego. Forget the ego.
Laozi
When one gives whatever one can without restraint, the barriers of individuality break down. It no longer becomes possible to tell whether it is the student offering himself to the teacher, or the teacher offering herself to the student. One sees only two immaculate beings, reflecting one another like a pair of brilliant mirrors.
Laozi
The sense organs, which are limited in scope and ability, randomly gather information. This partial information is arranged into judgments, which are based on previous judgments, which are usually based on someone else's foolish ideas. These false concepts and ideas are then stored in a highly selective memory system.
Laozi
Does one scent appeal more than another Do you prefer this flavor, or that feeling Is your practice sacred and your work profane Then your mind is separated from itself, from oneness, from the Tao.
Laozi
Can you let go of words and ideas, attitudes and expectations If so, then the Tao will loom into view.
Laozi
