Tao Te Ching - Chapter 3


3
If you overesteem great men,
people become powerless.
If you overvalue possessions,
people begin to steal.

The Master leads
by emptying people's minds
and filling their cores,
by weakening their ambition
and toughening their resolve.
He helps people lose everything
they know, everything they desire,
and creates confusion
in those who think that they know.

Practice not-doing,
and everything will fall into place.

|...Not-doing for me is Shamata Meditation - so hard, yet so peaceful...lately, my mind has started reaching a state, after about ten minutes, when it actually craves the cool, clear light of consciousness...but 'the feeling is fleeting and soon lost'...and so it goes - the endless cycle of yin and yang continue...
