Chuang Tzu

A happy excursion:
Useful and useless.
Great knowledge and small knowledge. RELAX.
On levelling all things
Great wisdom is generous; petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech cantankerous.
To be harassed by the wear and tear of life, and to be driven along without possibility of arresting one's course, -- is not this pitiful indeed? To labor without ceasing all life, and then, without living to enjoy the fruit, worn out with labor, to depart, one knows not whither, -- is not this a just cause for grief?"

Only one thing is real: LIFE
See Buddha, kill Buddha.
Things are so by themselves and have possibilities by themselves. There is nothing which is not so and there is nothing which may not become so.

Only the truly intelligent understand this principle of the levelling of all things into One. They discard the distinctions and take refuge in the common and ordinary things. The common and ordinary things serve certain functions and therefore retain the wholeness of nature. From this wholeness, one comprehends, and from comprehension, one to the Tao. There it stops. To stop without knowing how it stops -- this is Tao.

Wherefore the true Sage brings all the contraries together and rests in the natural Balance of Heaven. This is called (the principle of following) two courses (at once).
For the Tao which is manifest is not Tao.
The Perfect Man," answered Wang Yi, "is a spiritual being.

"Take no heed of time nor of right and wrong. Passing into the realm of the Infinite, take your final rest therein."
Presevation of Life

In doing good, avoid fame.
Those who accept the natural course and sequence of things and live in obedience to it are beyond joy and sorrow.

Human world:
The mountain trees invite their own cutting down; lamp oil invites its own burning up. Cinnamon bark can be eaten; therefore the tree is cut down. Lacquer can be used, therefore the tree is scraped. All men know the utility of useful things; but they do not know the utility of futility.
