“The Way of heaven takes away where there's abundance
and restores where there's want,
but the Way of humankind isn't like that:

and gives where there's abundance.

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.”

These nonbelievers may be critical of all religions, but they should be decent at heart.”

“The way of surrender is to surrender to the whole, and allowing the whole to direct your life. The ego makes you separated from the whole; the ego makes you isolated from the whole. The way of surrender is to drop all deas about directing your life. It is to become a vehicle for the whole, and simply accept whatsoever the whole offer. It is to become more and more deeply in tune with the whole, with existence, with God. It is to allow the whole to function through you. This creates an inner flowering. For one day take as a meditation to allow the whole to function through you with no direction or effort from your side. Move moment to moment, knowing that the whole is running the whole world, and that the whole will take care of you. The world is so big, there are so many suns, stars and galaxies, and everything is going perfectly well - as long as men do not interfere. Meditate, eat, sleep, relate with friends and just be, and allow the whole to direct you and take care of you.”

Source: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
“The way of the Essentialist means living by design, not by default. Instead of making choices reactively, the Essentialist deliberately distinguishes the vital few from the trivial many, eliminates the non-essentials, and then removes obstacles so the essential things have clear, smooth passage. In other words, Essentialism is a disciplined, systematic approach for determining where our highest point of contribution lies, then making execution of those things almost effortless.”
“The way of the gospel is a simple way. Some of the requirements may appear to you as elementary and unnecessary. Do not spurn them. Humble yourselves and walk in obedience. I promise that the results that follow will be marvelous to behold and satisfying to experience.”
“The Way of the heart is the path of love. It is allowing that which wants to happen. Don't do it, allow it to happen. That is the way of the heart. Can you really "do" love? It is impossible to "do" love. You can be in love, but you cannot do it. When love is there, you are not there. When love is there, the manipulator, the "doer", the ego, is not there. Love does not allow any manipulation of the ego, of the past. Love simply happens. It happens suddenly out of the clear sky. Love is a gift. Just as life is a gift, love is a gift.”

“The way of the heart means that the part has understood that it is only the part and has dropped all struggles. Now the whole is doing and the part is happy. The whole is dancing and the part is dancing with it. To be in tune with the whole, to be in a deep harmony with the whole, is the meaning of The way of the heart, and that is the meaning of love.
Love is always a happening. Suddenly from nowhere it comes to you. You are always taken unaware. Suddenly one day, you feel a new glow, a new energy. God has knocked on your door. Suddenly you are no longer the same. Suddenly you're singing with joy.
Love still remains in the hands of God. It is a happening through grace. Nobody can command love. If it happens, it happens. If you are available to love, you will also be available to God. God and love are the same.
The way of the heart, the path of love, simply means that nothing is in your hands. The whole will take care. You allow the whole to take over.”

It is made up, but race does matter.” Race shouldn’t matter, but it does. In society's eyes, race is stubbornly real.”
