We shape clay into a pot,

but it is the emptiness inside

that holds whatever we want. 
 ( -Tao Te Ching-)

"Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself. "

Non Duality..

"Emptiness here, Emptiness there, but the infinite universe stands always before our eyes. Infinitely large and infinitely small; no difference, for definitions have vanished and no boundaries are seen. So too with Being and non-Being. Don't waste time in doubts and arguments that have nothing to do with this. One thing, all things: move among and intermingle, without distinction. To live in this realization is to be without anxiety about non-perfection. To live in this faith is the road to non-duality, because the non-dual is one with the trusting mind."
                                                      **********

"Don't live by the standards of this world,

nor by the expectations of other people. 

Remember, he who follows the crowd...

 usually gets lost in it."

**********

Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people sa:, I'll do nothing until I can be sure. 

Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose.

Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.....(
 (Rumi)
