Taoism! is simple and powerful. If its understood its life changing. I am in love with it.
Tao's teachings tells something like, "Millions can go along the direction of force, few hundreads might dare to go against and, just handfull can make that force work in there desired direction, neither flowing it nor opposing it, but transforming it."
Words of Tao : Don't bother is you you don't connect to the below thoughts. First few lines might give you an Idea.
The wise on hearing the Tao , diligently puts it into practice.
The average on hearing the Tao , keeps it one minute and loses it the next.
The mediocre on hearing the Tao , laughs at it loudly. If this student did not laugh it would not be the Tao.
- Act without doing, work without effort. Think of 'large' as small and 'many' as few.Accomplish 'The Great', one step at a time.If you run into trouble, throw yourself towards it. Don't tell people the way, just show them the result.
- Don't Reach and you will find. Stand on your toes and you will never stand 'firm'. Rush ahead and you will not go 'far'. Try to 'shine' and you will extinguish you light.Try to define yourself and you won't know who you are.
- I f you want to 'shrink' something, you must first expand it. If you want to 'get rid off' something, you must first allow it to flourish. You want to 'take' something, you must allow it to be given. The SOFT will ovecome the HARD. The SLOW will beat the FAST.
- If you understand that all things 'constantly change' there is nothing you will hold on to., all things will change. If you are not affraid of dying, there is nothing you can't do. Trying to control the future is like trying to take place of God or almighty.
- Knowing other people is 'inteligence', knowing yourself is 'wisdom'. Matering other people is 'strength', mastering yourself is 'power'.
- Don't clig to comfortable and 'everything' will be confortable. 'Demand' Nothing and give ALL. Don't try to control others, let go and let them be.
- If you realize that what you have is enough, you are truely rich. Stay in center and embrace peace, simplicity, patience and compassion. Embrace the possibility of death and you will endure. Embrace the possibility of life and you will endure.
- Don't seek and Don't expect. Be patient and wait untill your mud settels and your water is clear. Be patient and wait. Your mud WILL settel and your water WILL be clear.
- If you look others for 'fullfillment' , you will never be fullfilled. If you happiness depends on 'money', you will never be happy. Be 'content' in what you haveand take JOY in the way things are. When you realize you have all you need, WORLD BELONGS TO YOU.
- If you want to be whole, you must first be partial. If you want to be straight, you must be crooked first. If you want to be full, first become empty. If you want to be reborn, you must first die. If you want everything, give everything up.
- If you don't display yourself, people will see your light. If you have nothing to prove, people will trust you. If you don't try to be something, people will see themselves in you. If you don't have a goal, you will always successed.
- It is said that path into light is dark. The path forward is backward. The true power seems weak, true purity seems tarnished, true resolve seems changeable, the true clarity seems obscure. The greatest art is unsophesticated, the greatest loves seems indifferent, the greatest wisdom seems childish.
