Tao Te Ching Part Sixteen 

“Empty yourself of everything.
Let the mind become still.
The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return.
They grow and flourish and then return to the source.
Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.”

The perfect meditation. Emptying the mind and bringing it to the point of stillness. Sit with good posture and focus on the breath, gradually the body will calm down, followed by the emotions and finally the mind. We are then harmonised with the Tao and able to observe how entropy works.

“The way of nature is unchanging.
Knowing constancy is insight.
Not knowing constancy leads to disaster.
Knowing constancy, the mind is open.”

Knowing that unborn, immortal, infinite part of our ‘being’ means that we have a place of refuge and healing that leads to insight and wisdom.

“With an open mind, you will be openhearted.
Being openhearted, you will act royally.
Being royal, you will attain the divine.
Being divine, you will be at one with the Tao.
Being at one with the Tao is eternal.
And though the body dies, the Tao will never pass away.”

To have that undefended heart, means that we become naturally majestic, spiritual and at one with the universe. This part of us is immortal and when we die, like a wave remains in the sea, it remains in the Tao.
