Empty yourself of everything.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Let the mind become still.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
They grow and flourish and then return to the source.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The way of nature is unchanging.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Knowing constancy is insight.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Not knowing constancy leads to disaster.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Knowing constancy, the mind is open.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
With an open mind, you will be openhearted.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Being openhearted, you will act royally.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Being royal, you will attain the divine.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Being divine, you will be at one with the Tao.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Being at one with the Tao is eternal.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
And though the body dies, the Tao will never pass away. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
