Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
Lao Tzu
The pursuit of book learning brings about daily increase.
The practise of Tao brings about daily loss.
Repeat the loss again and again, and you arrive at inaction.
Practice inaction and there is nothing which can't be done.
Practice inaction, occupy yourself with doing nothing.
Leave all things to take their natural course and do not interfere
All things in nature work silently.
Among mankind, the recognition of beauty as such implies the idea of ugliness and the recognition of good implies the idea of evil. Cast off your holiness, rid yourself of sagacity and the people will benefit a hundredfold.
Those who know do not speak; those who speak do not know.
He who acts, destroys; he who grasps, loses. Therefore the sage does not act, and so he does not destroy; he does not grasp and so he does not lose.
The soft overcomes the hard; the weak overcomes the strong. There is no one in the world but knows this truth, and no one who can put it into practic
A description of the experience
George Harrison - Circles
Friends come and friends go
As I go round and round in circles
Love someone change your mind
Decide he was a swine
As you go round and round in circles
He who knows does not speak
He who speaks does not know
And I go round in circles
Dislike someone and will not bend
Later they may become your best friend
As life it goes around in circles
He who knows does not speak
He who speaks does not know
And I go round in circles
Soul takes on a body with each birth we make our date
With life and death along the road the soul reincarnates
The show goes round and round in circles
When loss and gain and up and down
Becomes the same, then we stop going in circles
Round and round in circles
