principles of valid action
- To go against the evolution of things is to go against yourself.
- When you force something towards an end, you produce the contrary.
- Do not oppose a great force; retreat until it weakens, then advance with resolution.
- Things are well when they move together, not in isolation.
- If day and night, summer and winter are fine with you, you have overcome the contradictions.
- If you pursue pleasure, you enchain yourself to suffering. But as long as you do not harm your health, enjoy without inhibition when the opportunity presents itself.
- If you pursue an end, you enchain yourself. If everything you do you realize as though it were an end in itself, you liberate yourself.
- You will make your conflicts disappear when you understand them in their ultimate root, not when you want to resolve them.
- When you harm others you remain enchained, but if you do not harm anyone you may freely do whatever you want.
- When you treat others as you would have them treat you, you liberate yourself.
- It does not matter in what faction events have placed you. What matters is for you to comprehend that you have not chosen any faction.
- Contradictory and unifying actions accumulate within you. If you repeat your acts of internal unity, nothing can detain you.
