Einen guten Rutsch & was zum Grübeln für das neue Jahr ;-)

„Ton knetend formt man Gefäße. Doch erst ihr Hohlraum, das Nichts, ermöglicht die Füllung.“

#Laotse (Bewertung von Übersetzungen aus alten Schrift/chinesisch sind sicherlich eine Wissenschaft an sich … aber hab’s jetzt trotzdem genommen) 🤣

@SrRochardBunson 宠辱若惊，贵大患若身。何谓宠辱若惊？宠为上，辱为下。得之若惊，失之若惊，是谓宠辱若惊。何谓贵大患若身？吾所以有大患者，为吾有身，及吾无身，吾有何患？故贵以身为天下，若可寄天下；爱以身为天下，若可托天下。

"The Tao is like a well: used but never used up. It is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities. It is hidden but always present. I don’t know who gave birth to it. It is older than God."

[#daodejing #taoteching by #Laotse #laotzu translated by Stephen Mitchell]

The #dao #tao is "infinity." It is everything, every being, molecule, atom, quark, boson, particle, wave, & force. It is time and everything time contains.

"...Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place."

[#daodejing #taoteching by #Laotse #laotzu translated by Stephen Mitchell's]

When I read Stephen Mitchell's translation of Laotse's words here, the word that comes to mind is "proportion." When I enjoy something, I tend to want more and more of it. Laotse warns me to be warry of 'too much of a good thing.' Instead of chasing the dopamine rush of excess, success and pleasure, I must remember the sage in Verse 2...(2/4)

...If I am to live in accord with the #dao, I must not work for the rewards, or the accolades. When it's time to work, I must not focus on all the possible outcomes but the work itself. And then move on. To have balance is to be present and perform mindfully, and diligently, and then let it go. Give it my best, and then forget it. (4/4)

...Therefore the Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anything. Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn’t possess, acts but doesn’t expect. When her work is done, she forgets it. That is why it lasts forever"

[#daodejing by #laozi #Laotse translated by Stephen Miller]

... (2/4)

La cuestión de si la mente está en orden o en desorden es un asunto de virtud del Camino. Si realizas el Camino, entonces la mente está en orden; pierde el Camino, y la mente estará en desorden.
