Great Throughts Treasury

"The Great Way is simple yet few know its origin. Follow your desires without recrimination. Adapt to things without praising them."

"All that is worldly can be transcended: one can reflect on all things between heaven and earth from a higher vantage point. The demands of the present are neglected, life becomes eternal. Coming to heaven, one enters a sphere beyond space and time. Why then should one aspire to being received by king and emperors?"
