~ Tao
The realm of dust is the world of sound and form, the land of name and gain where misery is taken for pleasure, where the artificial is taken to be real. Diminishing the vitality, wearing out the energy, destroying essence and life, in it there is death only. Those who realize this and go beyond it are people of attainment, those who are unaware of it and fall into it are people astray. Therefore since ancient times, the immortals and real people who achieved the Tao took care of their family and social duties when they were young, thereby fulfilling human ethics; when they reached the age of forty they practice the Tao of not stirring the mind, whereby they preserved their essence and life. After all, a hundred years is only a brief interval, a lifetime of glory and disgrace is a blink of an eye. If you do not know how to return to the fundamental and go back to the origin, to return to the root and go back to life, when the limit of your time here comes, even if have a pile of gold you'll leave empty-handed.
~ Tao
If You let go of things, your body is not stressed; if you contrive no artificiality, you mind is naturally at peace. Serenity and lightness develop day by day, while involvement in objects grows thinner day by day. Your actions become further and further from mundanely, while your mind becomes closer and closer to the way.

" Even if you accumulate a mountain of gold, can you buy off impermanence?" Truly this is a golden bell, a drum of truth, to wake everyone up.

~ Tao
When the mind no longer wanders vagrant but merges with the way and rests calmly in the way, that is called return to the root. Keeping to the root without straying is called serene stablization. Over a long time at this, diseases vanish, life returns, returns and continues, so you naturally come to know the eternal. Knowing means nothing is obscure; eternal means there is no change. Emancipation from birth and death really come from here.
