  • Knowing

    Lao Zi, China

    (Submitted by The Art of Living Team)

    Without taking a step outdoors
    You know the whole world;
    Without taking a peep out the window
    You know the colour of the sky.

    The more you experience,
    The less you know.
    The sage wanders without knowing,
    Sees without looking,
    Accomplishes without acting.

    If you realise that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.
