Hua Hu Ching – The wise person dines on something more subtle

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation

– Delhi (India), 16 December 1998 –

“When your growth takes place, all these subtle things start expressing themselves…

I bless you all, please develop those subtle things within you.

They are already there; you do not have to do anything.

Only understand and locate.”  

 

 Hua Hu Ching 

(traditionally attributed to Laozi –  Lao Tzu)

38

“Why scurry
about looking for the truth?
It vibrates in every thing
and every
not-thing, right off the tip of your
nose. Can you be still
and
see it in the mountain?
The pine tree?
Yourself?
 Don’t imagine
that you’ll discover it
by accumulating more knowledge.
Knowledge creates doubt, and doubt
makes you ravenous for more
knowledge. You can’t get full
eating this way.
The wise
person dines
on something more subtle:
He eats the understanding
that the named was born from
the unnamed, that all being flows
from non-being, that the describable
world emanates from an indescribable
source. He finds this subtle truth
inside his own self,
and becomes
completely
content.
So who can
be still and watch
the chess game of the world?
The foolish are always making
impulsive moves, but the wise know
that victory and defeat are decided by
something more subtle. They see
that something perfect exists
before any move
is made.
This subtle perfection
deteriorates when
artificial actions are taken, so be
content not to disturb the
peace.
Remain quiet.
Discover the harmony in
your own being. Embrace it.
If you can do this, you will gain
everything, and the world will
become healthy again.
If you can’t, you will be
lost in the shadows
forever. ”
