Quote #14 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and Human Happiness
“What good is it to spend your life accumulating material things? It isn't in keeping with the Tao. What benefit in conforming your behavior to someone's conventions? It violates your nature and dissipates your energy. Why separate your spiritual life and your practical life? To an integral being, there is no such distinction. Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not. Ignore time. Relinquish ideas and concepts. Embrace the Oneness. This is the Integral Way.”
Source: "Hua Hu Ching," by Lao Tzu, circa 600, BC. Part 50.
