Tao ~ 8

The supreme good is like water,
which nourishes all things without trying to.
It is content with the low places that people disdain.
Thus it is like the Tao.

In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don’t try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present.

When you are content to be simply yourself
and don’t compare or compete,
everybody will respect you.

📖 Lao Tzu in Tao Te Ching

Tao ~ 7

The Tao is infinite, eternal.
Why is it eternal?
It was never born;
thus it can never die.
Why is it infinite?
It has no desires for itself;
thus it is present for all beings.

The Master stays behind;
that is why she is ahead.
She is detached from all things;
that is why she is one with them.
Because she has let go of herself,
she is perfectly fulfilled.

"To bring your attention to a stone, a tree, or an animal does not mean to think about it, but simply to perceive it, to hold it in your awareness.

Something of its essence then transmits itself to you. You can sense how still it is, and in doing so the same stillness arises within you. You sense how deeply it rests in Being - completely at one with what it is and where it is. In realizing this, you too come to a place of rest deep within yourself." ~Eckhart Tolle in 'Stilness Speaks'

"Calming allows us to rest, and resting is a precondition for healing. When animals in the forest get wounded, they find a place to lie down, and they rest completely for many days. They don't think about food or anything else. They just rest, and they get the healing they need. When we humans get sick, we just worry! We look for doctors and medicine, but we don't stop. Even when we go to the beach or the mountains for a vacation, we don't rest, and we come back more tired than before. We have to learn to rest. Lying down is not the only position for resting. During sitting or walking meditation, we can rest very well. Meditation does not have to be hard labor. Just allow your body and mind to rest like an animal in the forest. Don't struggle. There is no need to attain anything. I am writing a book, but I am not struggling. I am resting also. Please read in a joyful, yet restful way. The Buddha said, "My Dharma is the practice of non-practice." Practice in a way that does not tire you out, but gives your body, emotions, and consciousness a chance to rest. Our body and mind have the capacity to heal themselves if we allow them to rest.

Stopping, calming, and resting are preconditions for healing. If we cannot stop, the course of our destruction will just continue. The world needs healing. Individuals, communities, and nations need healing." ~Thich Nhat Hanh in 'The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation'

"Imagine that you have energetic roots that reach from your feet, your legs, and your pelvis down into the Earth. You have these roots already, so you need not invent or create them; simply remember these roots. They are very old lines of connection dating back to ancient times, so simply remember them. These roots are channels of nurturing, a way to receive living energy, and also a way for you to again bear fruit and to give back to the Earth. These roots are pathways of love. Remember your love for the Earth, for nature, for the purity and innocence of all living beings: the animals, the trees, the waters. These are not things outside yourself, you are all intimately joined." ~Earth

"Nature holds a key to our hearts. Our hearts open when nature touches us with her tenderness.

When we start seeing the gentle soul behind the eyes of a cow, pig, sheep or a goat, we will start awakening to our own soul.

When your heart is full of love, you do not exclude anything and anyone from your gift of love.

Love and nature embrace each other as two inseparable soul mates.

When you desire to find more love, fall in love with nature. She is the gateway to all that you have been seeking for.

Human lives without a thriving relationship with nature become complicated and their suffering is endless and unresolvable. The way out is the way into the arms of the Mother.

When you seek an answer, just step outside, greet the Sun, smile at the sky, make a wish, kiss a tree, caress a flower, giggle with a bee, listen to the wings of a hummingbird. That is your answer. She always knows." ~Divine Mother
