One should ask HIMSELF Why? Why is it so very difficult to control oneself. Shouldn't it be the other way round, that controlling others should be more difficult. Instead it is just the reverse. Why? Why? It is because the other person is only an image in the mirror of your life. The reality is ME, and ME is infinite
Get rid of all desires and the man might as well be dead. But rather, be true to your being , express them as you would and live the man you came into this world to be
If you are alone long enough you will get to know yourself. We are never truly alone although it can surely feel like it, even in a crowd. The Being who created Everything is all knowing, ever present, ever loving, always forgiving and knows the number of hairs on your head and your every thought. Not a single leaf falls from a tree without the knowledge of this One. Don't worry. Remember the song that said," You don't always get what you want, but you get what you need! Just try to put out good karma. Nothing stays the same. That is life, so the loneliness will go away eventually. Keep your chin up sweetie! Things will work out. Best blessings to you.
I disagree. There's plenty of depressing things that be going on in your present and not necessarily in the past. The outlook for the future could be depressing as well. Yes, I know it's based on your point of view and how you look at the situation, but there's some situations are just too bleak..no matter what way you look at it. You can be hopeful, but sometimes there's no helping it .
M.V.G. K thank you. That may be the best quote ever. And my Dad is an English teacher. I do like..... "Expectation is the end of serenity." Also, I like "Happiness is the absence of pain". Cheers! 🍹
He who expects no satisfaction will be pleasantly satisfied by the results! He who realizes that that satisfied him will be disappointed that he proved himself wrong!
The fact that philosophers from millennia ago understood humanity to the point that we are still learning from them and they're still correct regardless of the historical context we're in is insane
When i was teen..... I want to touch the sky. When i was 20's...... I want to hug the sun. When i was 30's i want to be on top of the mountain. Today at my 40's........ I wish i have learnt how to walk properly.
at 40 years old people get mid age crysis. And i get it. Game changes. And if you dont accept the change, your are really going to be in crysis. I mean " Hey we are still young and strong" But our body aint.
"Care about what other people think, and you will always be their prisoner." SO true, and applies to depression/anxiety past/future. Many great quotes! Glad I found this video, much appreciated, great way to start the day.
One of the greatest things to help me in a big worrying problem I have and was severely getting me down, is this very good quote here in this video. "If you are depressed you are living in the past, if you are anxious you are living in the future, if you are at peace you are living in the present." Beautiful it helps💕
Those with constant worries, have phobia. The either worry in advance over something that's unlikely to happen. I personally know of some who r wealthy but live with the worry of bankruptcy n live a miserable life
The most intriguing quote for me is - "If you are alone for a long time, soon you will accept loneliness. You will never know your potential if you are afraid to be alone
"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them,that only create sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." ~laotzu wow.... Lao tzu is so amazing
That was his reality and this is mine. "God gives you life to create your own. We use to plant in spring now plant every seasons, and someone will say that's wrong and I say will maybe you right but we all here to live and die. So don't wait for your dreams to find you, fetch your dreams. Don't let nature decide for you, fight you are also nature just don't be stupid about it, have limits etc
That is not a good quote for me. I suffer from my mistakes and was aware of them and only needed to make one change to fix all my problems. Before we could do anything I found that changes were being manipulated by these people and it wasn’t natural. These abusers distracted my focus so change was forgotten and I was left with a haunting memory knowing if they would have got in my way I d still be rich. I’d be full of life able to smile and not because somebody dies. Life lesson is don’t allow what you might think is natural happen if that natural flow is going to destroy your happiness or mental health. If you don’t like this flow cut it fuck off . Make it go your way.
My new job was not a good fit so am looking for work now.. the quote "if you are depressed you are living in the past; if you are anxious you are living in the future and if you are peaceful you are living in the now"... surely applies to ME!

This is easily the worst and most factually wrong thing he ever said. Time is a LIMITED thing that you can never get more of. All you can do is choose what you spend it on. I may want to do something, but need to do something else, so I choose to do the thing I need to do over the thing I want to do. That time I spent on the thing I need to do can never be recovered.
What you say makes logical sense but philosophy is more in a practical sense and there is a reason why people say if you want something done give it to a busy person.
I don't believe this was from Lao Tsu but it certainly makes sense. Days going by fast is a matter of perspective. I'm getting a new copy of the Tao Te Ching soon, but want my favorite translation. And yes, nothing is stays the same except our Creator.

Sorry, but many of these are NOT quotes from Lao Tzu. All we have from him in written form is the TAO TE CHING, and you won't find a lot of these quotes in that short work. As for "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be" (which I don't believe Lao Tzu ever said), my wife says: "It would be better to let go of what you might be and become what you are." Nonetheless many of these sayings, though mis-attributed, are wise and helpful.
" Lao Tzu is one of those few masters who have tried to say the truth as accurately as it is humanly possible. He has made tremendous effort to bring the inexpressible to the world of expression, to bring the wordless experience within the confinement of small words. The words we know are mundane; they are meant for ordinary day-to-day use. And the experience that happens in absolute silence is absolutely beyond them. But still it has to be expressed -- if not expressed, at least hinted at. Lao Tzu's words are fingers pointing to the moon. Don't cling to the fingers. Forget the fingers and look at the moon, and great insight will descend upon you. There is no other scripture like the TAO TE CHING for the simple reason that each single word in it is immensely pregnant, not only with the unknown but also with the unknowable. Words have been used only as indicators, milestones showing the way, telling you to go ahead, not to stop there. These words are very significant, but at the first reading they will look very puzzling, confusing, paradoxical, contradictory -- unless you have tasted something of meditation. That taste makes everything clear. Meditation is like eyes. When you talk about light to a man who has eyes, he immediately understands what you mean. When you talk to the blind man about light, he HEARS the word but listens to nothing, understands nothing. His ears are perfect; the word reaches him but empty, with no content. The content has always to be put by your experience. These words are not ordinary words. Unless you come to them with great meditation it is impossible to figure out what is what. If you come with meditation, then things cannot be more simple than Lao Tzu's words are. He says, "Knowing the not-knowing -- that is high." The highest point is that nothing can be known, that everything is unknowable -- and not only unknown, but unknowable. A distinction has to be made between the unknown and the unknowable; these two words have to be pondered over. The first is the known. That which is known today was unknown yesterday. That which is unknown today may become known tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Hence the difference between the known and the unknown. It is not a difference that makes any difference; it is only a question of time. There is no qualitative difference between the two. But the unknowable is qualitatively different. The unknowable is that which has never been known and will never be known; unknowability is its intrinsic nature. This is the most profound truth, that life in its totality, in its organic wholeness is absolutely a mystery. It is not a problem that can be solved, it is not a question that can be answered. No amount of knowledge is going to demystify it. It will remain mysterious. Mysteriousness is not something accidental to it. You cannot take it away from it; it is its very soul. And whatsoever we know is just superficial, very superficial. Whatsoever we know is only befooling ourselves. D.H.Lawrence, one of the mystic poets of this age, and a man I love and respect very much, was walking in a garden with a small child. The child asked him -- and only a child can ask such a tremendously significant question.... The knowledgeable people always ask foolish questions because they ask out of their knowledge. In fact, they have already got the answer and they are asking just to see whether you have also got the answer or not. They are searching for an argument to prove their knowledge. Their question is not authentic, is not true. Any question arising out of your knowledge is pseudo. But when small children ask something they mean it; it is not out of knowledge, it is out of innocence, out of a state of not knowing. Whenever there is a question out of not knowing it has immense beauty, splendor. The child asked D.H.Lawrence, "Can you tell me one thing: why are the trees green? Why not red? Why not blue? Why not black? Why not this, why not that? Why are they green and always green?" A man of knowledge would have answered very easily. He would have told the child the chemistry of the trees, the biology of the trees. He may have told the child about chlorophyll: "Why are the trees green? -- it is because of the presence of chlorophyll." But D.H.Lawrence remained silent; he closed his eyes. The child was puzzled -- such a great man, world famous, author of many books, who could not answer such a small question? The child nudged him and said, "Why have you closed your eyes? Either you know or you don't know! What are you doing with closed eyes? If you know, say it; if you don't know, say so." D.H.Lawrence said, "The trees are green because they are green." And the child said, "That's right!" He was absolutely satisfied, contented. He said, "That's right -- trees are green because they are green!" But only a child can ask such a question, and only a child can receive such an answer. What Lawrence is saying is exactly what Lao Tzu is saying. To say that trees are green because they are green, is to accept the ultimate mystery, that nothing can be said. It is so."
I enjoyed reading what you wrote about your understanding of Lao Tzu, thanks for sharing. But the 3-yr old child s question and answer seemed a bit not Lao Tsu to me. Perhaps it s due to what you have mentioned in the upper part of your explanation. Are there differences between follower and seeker?! is Curiosity dangerous? Does living your life mean to do nothing but waiting for the death to come? Does Wuwei mean doing nothing? Selfless means not being yourself?! I read some different interpretations, if there is no truth just opinions, why and what are ppl looking for by studying philosophy?
I like what you said. It reminds me that words are a cage that knowledge is sort of trapped by. Not all knowledge can be put into words. I believe that we ARE capable of understanding concepts which cannot be put in words, esp. when we are children.
@@lilnancy2266 " The original face of every child is the face of God. It is less like a flower and more like fragrance. You can feel it but you cannot catch hold of it. You can be overwhelmed by it but you cannot possess it.” The God of my vision and experience is not to be searched for in the synagogues, temples, mosques, churches, in the Himalayas, in the monasteries. He is not there because He is always here. And you go on looking for Him there. When I say every child’s original face is the face of God, I am saying that God is synonymous with life, existence. Whatsoever is, is divine, sacred. And there is nothing other than God. God is not to be understood as quantity, but as quality. You cannot measure it. You cannot make a statue of it, you cannot draw a picture of it. In that sense it is absolutely impersonal. And if you look at the faces of children when they arrive, fresh from the very source of life, you will see a certain presence which cannot be named - unnameable, indefinable. The child is alive. You cannot define its aliveness, but it is there, you can feel it. It is so much there that howsoever blind you are you cannot miss it. It is fresh. You can smell the freshness around a child. That fragrance slowly, slowly disappears. And if, unfortunately, the child becomes successful-a celebrity, a president, a prime minister, a pope-then the same child, now an adult, stinks. He had come with a tremendous fragrance, immeasurable, indefinable, unnameable. You look into the eyes of a child-you cannot find anything deeper. The eyes of a child are abysmal, there is no bottom to them. Unfortunately, the way society will destroy him, soon his eyes will be only superficial; because of layers and layers of conditioning, that depth, that immense depth will have disappeared long before. And that was his original face. The child has no thoughts. About what can he think? Thinking needs a past, thinking needs problems. He has no past, he has only future. He has no problems yet, he is without problems. There is no possibility of thinking for him. What can he think? The child is conscious but without thoughts. This is the original face of the childOnce this was your face too, and although you have forgotten it, it is still there within you, waiting someday to be rediscovered. I am saying re-discovered because you have discovered it many times in your previous lives, and again and again you go on forgetting it.
"The highest point is that nothing can be known, that everything is unknowable " that is not what he is saying. these are mystical words, knowing the "not-knowing" is the same concept of "nothingness" of buddhism, which is perversely interpreted to mean ltierally nothing. but the "nothing" or emptiness or simplicity, these great men talk about, is that from which ALL things emerge. its the quantum soup, the chaos soup, the infinite space which has no thing in it, yet the potential for all. others call it "God". all ancient scriptures are designed in a way to mislead the unwise and lead the wise into the mystery school

The great Lao Tzu or Lao Tse, writer of the Tai Chi Kin or Ta Ki King. Taoism. You'll never know your potential if you're afraid to be alone. Perhaps that's the most powerful lesson. Being alone is great. Thanks for this excellent video.
It is so amazing that these beautiful, wise thoughts from more than 2500 years ago are still true and beautiful today. And perhaps for 1000 years to come.
Knowledge is vaster than an ocean. The more we gather knowledge, the more our thirst for it increase. So any kind of restriction or the persuit of knowledge is not at all desirable. Everybody has the right to walk freely in the ocean🌊🌊❤
It’s good to be content with oneself, but it’s also good to have dreams, something to aspire for. That keeps you on your toes, makes life more interesting, more worth living. Since you are willing to live longer, for your dreams sake.
"He who is not grateful for the simple things in life such as small farts after dinner will, oh snap, hang on, I have to answer this, new phone, who dis?" - Lao Tzu
I've learned a lot a having friends..but the end you find out its not just a true friend is just as all lies.its better to be alone than to be apart of them and im realized i am happy now without them😊..you can talk anyone but not too trust. 👍
Taoism is ancient religion very advanced n relevant. It does not have strict religious dogmas regarding what you should or should not do but each individual can reach enlightenment in their own way.
Someone told me over a cordless phone long ago to "be yourself". I did not know then it would take eternity to figure out what he meant. It's not just being "me"- the space a body takes up, but realizing the connection between a body and the universe that contains it.

Because they had nothing but time and less distractions I suppose.
Sorry, but many of these are NOT quotes from Lao Tzu. All we have from him in written form is the TAO TE CHING, and you won't find a lot of these quotes in that short work. As for "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be" (which I don't believe Lao Tzu ever said), my wife says: "It would be better to let go of what you might be and become what you are." Nonetheless many of these sayings, though mis-attributed, are wise and helpful.
WOW!!
Do tell us what other things your wife says and does. She is the real Sun Tzu.
Tried to agree with you but ads keep interrupting me and I'll have to talk with you later. Thanks!
You're either a historian or a content writer. Kick me if I'm wrong. 😏
Yea dumb clickbait. I question the quotes. I don't believe it's from the sage.
Confucius said, "If in your entire life you should make only one friend, you should consider yourself lucky". I tend to agree.
“ Be attentive to
your thoughts, they are the
beginning of action .
Thanks
Thank you so much for your support! 🙏 ❤️
Care about what other people think, and you will be their prisoner. 🌺
What's the odds scrolling through messages and he spoke wile I read.... this??? Same message,wild......
Lao Tzu had many prisoners.
" Lao Tzu is one of those few masters who have tried to say the truth as accurately as it is humanly possible. He has made tremendous effort to bring the inexpressible to the world of expression, to bring the wordless experience within the confinement of small words.
The words we know are mundane; they are meant for ordinary day-to-day use. And the experience that happens in absolute silence is absolutely beyond them. But still it has to be expressed -- if not expressed, at least hinted at.
Lao Tzu's words are fingers pointing to the moon. Don't cling to the fingers. Forget the fingers and look at the moon, and great insight will descend upon you.
There is no other scripture like the TAO TE CHING for the simple reason that each single word in it is immensely pregnant, not only with the unknown but also with the unknowable. Words have been used only as indicators, milestones showing the way, telling you to go ahead, not to stop there.
These words are very significant, but at the first reading they will look very puzzling, confusing, paradoxical, contradictory -- unless you have tasted something of meditation.
That taste makes everything clear.
Meditation is like eyes. When you talk about light to a man who has eyes, he immediately understands what you mean. When you talk to the blind man about light, he HEARS the word but listens to nothing, understands nothing. His ears are perfect; the word reaches him but empty, with no content. The content has always to be put by your experience.
These words are not ordinary words. Unless you come to them with great meditation it is impossible to figure out what is what. If you come with meditation, then things cannot be more simple than Lao Tzu's words are. He says, "Knowing the not-knowing -- that is high."
The highest point is that nothing can be known, that everything is unknowable -- and not only unknown, but unknowable. A distinction has to be made between the unknown and the unknowable; these two words have to be pondered over. The first is the known. That which is known today was unknown yesterday. That which is unknown today may become known tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Hence the difference between the known and the unknown. It is not a difference that makes any difference; it is only a question of time. There is no qualitative difference between the two.
But the unknowable is qualitatively different. The unknowable is that which has never been known and will never be known; unknowability is its intrinsic nature.
This is the most profound truth, that life in its totality, in its organic wholeness is absolutely a mystery. It is not a problem that can be solved, it is not a question that can be answered. No amount of knowledge is going to demystify it. It will remain mysterious.
Mysteriousness is not something accidental to it. You cannot take it away from it; it is its very soul. And whatsoever we know is just superficial, very superficial. Whatsoever we know is only befooling ourselves.
D.H.Lawrence, one of the mystic poets of this age, and a man I love and respect very much, was walking in a garden with a small child. The child asked him -- and only a child can ask such a tremendously significant question.... The knowledgeable people always ask foolish questions because they ask out of their knowledge. In fact, they have already got the answer and they are asking just to see whether you have also got the answer or not. They are searching for an argument to prove their knowledge. Their question is not authentic, is not true. Any question arising out of your knowledge is pseudo.
But when small children ask something they mean it; it is not out of knowledge, it is out of innocence, out of a state of not knowing. Whenever there is a question out of not knowing it has immense beauty, splendor.
The child asked D.H.Lawrence, "Can you tell me one thing: why are the trees green?
Why not red? Why not blue? Why not black? Why not this, why not that? Why are they green and always green?"
A man of knowledge would have answered very easily. He would have told the child the chemistry of the trees, the biology of the trees. He may have told the child about chlorophyll: "Why are the trees green? -- it is because of the presence of chlorophyll."
But D.H.Lawrence remained silent; he closed his eyes.
The child was puzzled -- such a great man, world famous, author of many books, who could not answer such a small question? The child nudged him and said, "Why have you closed your eyes? Either you know or you don't know! What are you doing with closed eyes? If you know, say it; if you don't know, say so."
D.H.Lawrence said, "The trees are green because they are green."
And the child said, "That's right!" He was absolutely satisfied, contented. He said, "That's right -- trees are green because they are green!"
But only a child can ask such a question, and only a child can receive such an answer.
What Lawrence is saying is exactly what Lao Tzu is saying. To say that trees are green because they are green, is to accept the ultimate mystery, that nothing can be said. It is so."
I enjoyed reading what you wrote about your understanding of Lao Tzu, thanks for sharing.
But the 3-yr old child s question and answer seemed a bit not Lao Tsu to me. Perhaps it s due to what you have mentioned in the upper part of your explanation. Are there differences between follower and seeker?! is Curiosity dangerous? Does living your life mean to do nothing but waiting for the death to come? Does Wuwei mean doing nothing? Selfless means not being yourself?! I read some different interpretations, if there is no truth just opinions, why and what are ppl looking for by studying philosophy?
@@recuerdos2457 My comment is from a talk by Osho. That is his understanding of Lao Tzu.
I like what you said. It reminds me that words are a cage that knowledge is sort of trapped by. Not all knowledge can be put into words. I believe that we ARE capable of understanding concepts which cannot be put in words, esp. when we are children.
@@lilnancy2266 " The original face of every child is the face of God. It is less like a flower and more like fragrance. You can feel it but you cannot catch hold of it. You can be overwhelmed by it but you cannot possess it.”
The God of my vision and experience is not to be searched for in the synagogues, temples, mosques, churches, in the Himalayas, in the monasteries. He is not there because He is always here. And you go on looking for Him there.
When I say every child’s original face is the face of God, I am saying that God is synonymous with life, existence. Whatsoever is, is divine, sacred. And there is nothing other than God. God is not to be understood as quantity, but as quality. You cannot measure it. You cannot make a statue of it, you cannot draw a picture of it. In that sense it is absolutely impersonal. And if you look at the faces of children when they arrive, fresh from the very source of life, you will see a certain presence which cannot be named - unnameable, indefinable.
The child is alive. You cannot define its aliveness, but it is there, you can feel it. It is so much there that howsoever blind you are you cannot miss it. It is fresh. You can smell the freshness around a child.
That fragrance slowly, slowly disappears. And if, unfortunately, the child becomes successful-a celebrity, a president, a prime minister, a pope-then the same child, now an adult, stinks.
He had come with a tremendous fragrance, immeasurable, indefinable, unnameable. You look into the eyes of a child-you cannot find anything deeper. The eyes of a child are abysmal, there is no bottom to them. Unfortunately, the way society will destroy him, soon his eyes will be only superficial; because of layers and layers of conditioning, that depth, that immense depth will have disappeared long before. And that was his original face.
The child has no thoughts. About what can he think? Thinking needs a past, thinking needs problems. He has no past, he has only future. He has no problems yet, he is without problems. There is no possibility of thinking for him. What can he think? The child is conscious but without thoughts.
This is the original face of the childOnce this was your face too, and although you have forgotten it, it is still there within you, waiting someday to be rediscovered. I am saying re-discovered because you have discovered it many times in your previous lives, and again and again you go on forgetting it.
"The highest point is that nothing can be known, that everything is unknowable "
that is not what he is saying. these are mystical words, knowing the "not-knowing" is the same concept of "nothingness" of buddhism, which is perversely interpreted to mean ltierally nothing.
but the "nothing" or emptiness or simplicity, these great men talk about, is that from which ALL things emerge.
its the quantum soup, the chaos soup, the infinite space which has no thing in it, yet the potential for all.
others call it "God".
all ancient scriptures are designed in a way to mislead the unwise and lead the wise into the mystery school
for someone who's been hiding for so long, this is my wake up call "when I let go of what I am, I become what I might be"
You , being loved by me is one. XxoOoxX
We let go something we are not satisfy with.
"To lead people follow them."

This is extraordinary, if everyone would live by those quotes we would all be legendary
But is there an "all"?
*Ding*
Legendary exist because it's a minority.
Let's get started.
If everybody lived by nust one rule (known by many as the Golden rule) life would be wonderful. Of course though, so many people don't believe the Bible holds the answers to all of our problems.

@@langleybeliever7789 Did it help? It seems to be a problem of the times to love the sinful world more than your own sons and daughters. I know it is hard to understand and that you are supposed to stand transfixed in awe but isn't it possible that a diciple can get his masters wisdom wrong?

You'll never know your potential if you're afraid to be alone.
Perhaps that's the most powerful lesson. Being alone is great.

@@anikadev8324 thanks for the correction as it did not make sense at all as I was reading the comment above.
It is so amazing that these beautiful, wise thoughts from more than 2500 years ago are still true and beautiful today. And perhaps for 1000 years to come.
There are in my opinion the best quotes of all time!!!
Knowledge is vaster than an ocean. The more we gather knowledge, the more our thirst for it increase. So any kind of restriction or the persuit of knowledge is not at all desirable. Everybody has the right to walk freely in the ocean🌊🌊❤
"Soft and Weak Wins Over Hard and Strong."
For those who stayed till the end of this video. Congratulations you have what it takes to be patient
This wisdom has been a solid grounding for me for years
Me too!
It’s good to be content with oneself, but it’s also good to have dreams, something to aspire for. That keeps you on your toes, makes life more interesting, more worth living. Since you are willing to live longer, for your dreams sake.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Most knowledge quotes nice sir full support and very 💗💞💞💗🥰🥰❤️❤️
Taoism is ancient religion very advanced n relevant. It does not have strict religious dogmas regarding what you should or should not do but each individual can reach enlightenment in their own way.
I love this voice, feel like Lao Tzu is speaking English!
For the first one, as a toddler, child, man, adult, and wise. This makes perfect sense for the entire world.
Success is as dangerous as failure
Someone told me over a cordless phone long ago to "be yourself". I did not know then it would take eternity to figure out what he meant. It's not just being "me"- the space a body takes up, but realizing the connection between a body and the universe that contains it.
Deep wisdom by lao tzu 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lao Tzu's words are very true indeed. Common sense isn't so common anymore.
