When you're dreaming, you don't know it's a dream. You might even interpret a dream in your dream - and then wake up and realize it was all a dream. Perhaps a great awakening will reveal this to be a dream as well.

More quotes by Zhuangzi
He who regards all things as one is a companion of Nature.
Zhuangzi
Who knows when the end is reached? Death may be the beginning of life. How do I know that love of life is not a delusion after all? How do I know that he who dreads to die is as a child who has lost the way and cannot find his way home? How do I know that the dead repent of having previously clung to life?
Zhuangzi
You are still guided by your expectations.
Zhuangzi
There are no greater adversaries than yin and yang, because nothing in Heaven or on Earth escapes them. But it is not yin and yang that do this, it is your heart that makes it so.
Zhuangzi
The little child learns to speak, though it has no learned teachers - because it lives with those who know how to speak.
Zhuangzi
The enlightened attention rejects nothing nor welcomes anything-like a mirror it responds equally to all.
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
He who knows he is a fool is not the biggest fool He who knows he is confused is not in the worst confusion.
Zhuangzi
By ethical argument and moral principle the greatest crimes are eventually shown to have been necessary, and, in fact, a signal benefit to mankind.
Zhuangzi
Being is thoughtless-beyond and beneath all categories of thought. Expression is the realization of creative thought. Being is still expression, moving. But then if I do not strive, who will?
Zhuangzi
Let your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.
Zhuangzi
The fact is that those who do not see themselves but who see others, who fail to grasp of themselves but who grasp others, take possession of what others have but fail to possess themselves. they are attracted to what others enjoy but fail to find enjoyment in themselves.
Zhuangzi
Rewards and punishments are the lowest form of education.
Zhuangzi
The baby looks at things all day without winking that is because his eyes are not focused on any particular object. He goes without knowing where he is going, and stops without knowing what he is doing. He merges himself within the surroundings and moves along with it. These are the principles of mental hygiene.
Zhuangzi
Never admire a man by his strength judge him in how he uses it- A way is made by walking it
Zhuangzi
It is only when the formed learns from the unformed that there is understanding.
Zhuangzi
Tao is the source of both fullness and emptiness. But it is itself neither fullness nor emptiness.
Zhuangzi
The ultimate happiness is doing nothing.
Zhuangzi
Men honor what lies within the sphere of their knowledge, but do not realize how dependent they are on what lies beyond it.
Zhuangzi
All men know the use of the useful, but nobody knows the use of the useless. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?
Zhuangzi
