Hua Hu Ching: the Teachings of Lao Tzu

Translation by Brian Walker

Twenty-Four

Subtle awareness of the truth of the universe should not be regarded as an achievement.
To think in terms of achieving it is to place it outside your own nature.
This is erroneous and misleading.

Your nature and the integral nature of the universe are one and the same: indescribable, but eternally present.
Simply open yourself to this.
