If you try to know it, you have already departed from it.
Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home! If you have insight, you use your inner eye, your inner ear, to pierce to the heart of things, and have no need of intellectual knowledge. The sound of water says what I think.
When a man tries to extend his power over objects,
those objects gain control of him.
He who is controlled by objects loses possession of his inner Self.

Do not seek fame. Do not make plans. Do not be absorbed by activities. Do not think that you know. Be aware of all that is, and dwell in the infinite. Wander where there is no path. Be all that heaven gave you, but act as though you have recieved nothing. Be empty, that is all.
Fishes are born in water,
man is born in Tao.
If fishes, born in water,
seek the deep shadow of pond and pool,
all their needs are satisfied.
If man, born in Tao,
sinks into the deep shadow of non-action,
to forget aggression and concern,
he lacks nothing,
and his life is secure.

Your preciousness lies in your essence; it cannot be lost by anything that happens.
