The only way you will ever awaken is through silence,
not through analyzation of facts,
not by sorting out good and bad,
but through simple silence, letting go.
Letting go of all thoughts,
all the hurts,
all the dogmas and concepts.
Letting go of these things daily.
Robert Adams

Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed
is a most undesirable sentiment.
If you have behaved badly, repent,
make what amends you can
and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time.
On no account brood over your wrongdoing.
Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting.
It is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

. . . You never find happiness until you stop looking for it.
My greatest happiness consists precisely in doing nothing whatever that is calculated to obtain happiness:
and this, in the minds of most people, is the worst possible course...
If you ask "what ought to be done" and "what ought not to be done" on earth in order to produce happiness,
answer that these questions do not have an answer.
There is no way of determining such things.
Yet at the same time, if I cease striving for happiness, the "right' and the "wrong" at once become apparent all by themselves.
Contentment and well-being at once become possible
the moment you cease to act with them in view,
and if you practice non-doing (wu wei),
you will have both happiness and well-being.
Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)

Uncreated To name Tao is to name no-thing.
Tao is not the name of (something created).
"Cause" and "chance" have no bearing on the Tao.
Tao is a name that indicates without defining.
Tao is beyond words and beyond things.
It is not expressed either in word or in silence.
Where there is no longer word or silence Tao is apprehended.
Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)

The hidden so-called scholars of old
did not hide themselves and refuse to be seen.
They did not close the door on their words and refuse to let them out. They did not shut away their wisdom and refuse to share it.
But those times were all haywire.
If it had been possible for them to act,
they could have done great things,
bringing all to Oneness without any sign of doing so.
However, the times were not favorable and it was not possible,
so they put down deep roots,
remained still and waited.
This was the Tao by which they survived.
