1. The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name.
2. (Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven and earth; (conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all things.
3. Always without desire we must be found,
If its deep mystery we would sound;
But if desire always within us be,
Its outer fringe is all that we shall see.
4. Under these two aspects, it is really the same; but as development takes place, it receives the different names. Together we call them the Mystery. Where the Mystery is the deepest is the gate of all that is subtle and wonderful.
“Lose your shell, and gain enlightenment”

“A real person is always a free person. You cannot force things on him; you cannot make a prisoner out of him; you cannot enslave him. He would rather lose his life than lose his freedom. Freedom is more valuable to him than life itself. Freedom is the highest value for him. That’s why in India we have called the highest value moksha, nirvana. Those words mean freedom, total freedom, absolute freedom.”
– OSHO
“Everybody has to live according to his own heart, has to move according to his own inner being, wherever it leads. That is your destiny. Nobody else is going to decide it; you are the only one to decide for yourself. This decisiveness – freed from all crowds, mobs, organizations – will create a new earth and a new jubilant, celebrant life for each individual. There will be no need for anybody to think of paradise after death; paradise will be herenow.”
– OSHO
“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. true nobility lies in being superior to your former self.”

“AS SOON AS WE FREE OURSELVES FROM THE MIRAGE OF HURRYING TIME, WE ARE ALIVE AGAIN, AS IN CHILDHOOD, TO THE ECSTASIES OF ORDINARY LIFE.”

“I’ll TELL YOU WHAT FREEDOM IS TO ME: NO FEAR.”
– NINA SIMONE
PEOPLE CAN ONLY MEET YOU AS DEEPLY AS THEY HAVE MET THEMSELVES.
“The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.”
