The men who are great live with that which is substantial, they do not stay with that which is superficial they abide with realities, they do not remain with what is showy. The one they discard, the other they hold.

Laozi
We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want. We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable. We work with being, but non-being is what we use.
Laozi
. . . Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom.
Laozi
. . . integral wisdom involves a direct participation in every moment: the observer and the observed are dissolved in the light of pure awareness, and no mental concepts or attitudes are present to dim that light.
Laozi
Keep behind, and you shall be put in front keep out, and you shall be kept in.
Laozi
Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness.
Laozi
