The sage

 is detached, yet compassionate;

enjoys life, yet does not cling to it;

is a perfectionist, yet indifferent to success or failure;

 is a man of honour, yet avoids reaping honour;

ignores ethics and morals, but lives a life of the highest moral order;

 does not strive, yet achieves;

knows the answers, but prefers to remain silent;

 has the innocence of a child, but incredible inner strength....(Tao)

"A wise man knows himself to be
more precious than fame,
and so, obscure, remains."....Tao

To see, purely and simply, without name,

without expectations, fears, or hopes,

at the edge where

there is no I or not-I.

Witnessing

"Just one  quality of the Buddha has to be remembered  i.e. witnessing. 
This small word witnessing contains the whole of spirituality. 
Witness that you are not the body. 
Witness that you are not the mind. 
Witness that you are only a witness.
As the witnessing deepens, you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy."
