Tao can be seen as the underlying principle that governs the cosmos, influencing everything from the movement of celestial bodies to the growth of plants and the behaviour of humans.
The Tao is often described as something that is difficult to grasp or define, as it is beyond the limitations of human language and thought.
- Wikipedia
What is essential to practice the Tao is to get rid of cravings and vexations. If these afflictions are not removed, it is impossible to attain stability. This is like the case of the fertile field, which cannot produce good crops as long as the weeds are not cleared away. Cravings and ruminations are the weeds of the mind; if you do not clear them away, concentration and wisdom do not develop. - Chang San-feng
Most people suffer from a case of mistaken identity, a kind of cosmic amnesia. We identify with our social persona and dramas, forgetting that – at a deeper level – we are each a unique creative expression of Life and the Universe. Identification with limited conceptions of who we are creates false divisions and limitations in our minds. It keeps us separated from each other and the greater community of Nature and Universe that we all belong to, that evolved and birthed us into being. Don’t believe everything you think. It’s important to connect directly with the embodied Universe that surrounds you and question limited beliefs society has planted in your head. - Tao & Zen
Flow with whatever may happen, and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate. - Chuang-tzu
