Tao Bible - Matthew 12:30

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
~ King James version ~

To lack calmness, to lack contentment is to go against Virtue, and there has never been anyone in the world who could go against Virtue and survive for long.
~ from Chapter 11 of the Zhuangzi ~
We each must follow are own paths in life, but this doesn't mean that all such paths mirror Tao (or God). Those paths that run counter to the great Way will lead us down roads that will bring us nothing but disharmony and stress.

If you're interested in reading more from this experimental series, go to the Tao Bible Index page.

  2. Interesting. This contrasts with something else I was reading earlier today -

    "Is not his speech, whatever he says, also Brahman? His harsh language, seemingly meaningless babble, the speech of Brahman?" ~ Siddharameshwar Maharaj

    And then there's the Hsin Hsin Ming -

    "Peaceful and troubled derive from thinking; Enlightenment has no likes or dislikes."

    I was going to say that I'd have to give it some more thought, but thought seems to be the problem...?? lol
