Quiet yourself and know your inner nature. Let who you are determine your path and your action. Do without doing, or remember to be a human being rather than a human doing. Stay with the present moment, the present experience, your present form. Allowing the Way of Tao to infuse your life can help you find the balance that is a possession you have never lost, only overlooked.
"What holds, what you can trust
is the same as this quietness –
and it is light-hearted.
This quiet light-hearted silence
Is the key to being free from emotion.
The sage never abandons the Tao
He never lets its weight out of his sight.
He may live in a fabulous house,
But he never gets up wanting to.
And though there are always temptations,
She stays unswayed, and smiles.
Losing the weight of the Tao
Means you lose your root;
And when you can’t sit still,
You lose the source."
The Tao te Ching is one of the most beautiful and restorative religious texts. It has the virtues of being simple, beautiful, and practical. Anytime I read it, I am refreshed and I regain the clarity of heaven which the Tao says is my natural state. Of course, the Tao does not separate heaven and earth, human and nature, or anything else at all. All things are contained in the Tao, and the Tao is the source of all things.
