Wen-Tzu – Verse 6 – Taoist Guidance

<p>Sages do not replace the celestial with the human. Outwardly they evolve along with things, yet inwardly they do not lose their true state. So those who realize the Way return to clear tranquility. Those who find out about things end up without contrivance. They nurture the intelligence by calmness, unify the spirit by abstraction, and take to the gate of nothingness.<br /> — Thomas Cleary, Wen-Tzu, Verse 6</p> <p> </p> <p>Don't forget to use the resources mentioned below for tools to stay sober any time during the year.
