One whose inner being is fixed upon such greatness emits a Heavenly glow. Even though he has this Heavenly glow, others will see him as just a man. Someone who has reached this point will begin to be consistent.

More quotes by Zhuangzi
The perfect man uses his mind as a mirror. It grasps nothing. It regrets nothing. It receives but does not keep.
Zhuangzi
A sage steers by the bright light of confusion and doubt.
Zhuangzi
The space under the sky is occupied by all things in their unity.
Zhuangzi
To have attained to the human form is a source of joy... What an incomparable bliss it is to undergo these countless transitions.
Zhuangzi
Hence it demands the emptiness of all the faculties. And when the faculties are empty, then the whole being listens. There is then a direct grasp of what is right there before you that can never be heard with the ear or understood with the mind.
Zhuangzi
The sage embraces things. Ordinary men discriminate amongst them and parade their discriminations before others. So I say those who discriminate, fail to see.
Zhuangzi
Those who follow the Tao are of clear mind. They do not load their mind with anxieties and are flexible in their adjustment to external conditions.
Zhuangzi
Heaven does without doing through its purity, Earth does without doing through its calmness.
Zhuangzi
When there is no more separation between 'this' and 'that,' it is called the still-point of the Tao. At the still point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.
Zhuangzi
He who regards all things as one is a companion of Nature.
Zhuangzi
The sound of water says what I think.
Zhuangzi
Tao is the source of both fullness and emptiness. But it is itself neither fullness nor emptiness.
Zhuangzi
Although things seem to be sometimes going up and sometimes descending, sometimes slipping away, nevertheless there is a reality, the same today as in the past. It does not change, for nothing can affect it. Could we not say it is one great harmony? So why shouldn't we ask about it.
Zhuangzi
The ultimate happiness is doing nothing.
Zhuangzi
Transmit the established facts do not transmit words of exaggeration. If you do that, you will probably come out all right.
Zhuangzi
The man who has some respect for his person keeps his carcass out of sight, hides himself as perfectly as he can.
Zhuangzi
Heaven is in everything: follow the light, hide in the cloudiness and begin in what is. Do this and your understanding will be like not understanding and your wisdom will be like not being wise. By not being wise you will become wise later.
Zhuangzi
In an archery contest, when the stakes are earthenware tiles a contestant shoots with skill. When the stakes are belt buckles he becomes hesitant, and if the stakes are pure gold he becomes nervous and confused. There is no difference as to his skil.
Zhuangzi
We possess our body by chance and we are already pleased with it. If our physical bodies went through ten thousand transformations without end, how incomparable would this joy be! Therefore the sage roams freely in the realm in which nothing can escape, but all endures.
Zhuangzi
A battering ram can knock down a city wall, but it cannot stop a hole. Different things have different uses.
