Give Evil Nothing To Oppose And It Will Disappear Itself.. - Lao Quotes

Give evil nothing to oppose and
it will disappear itself..
- Lao Tzu

आत्मा अकेले आती है अकेले चली जाती है
न कोई उसका साथ देता है
न कोई उसका मित्र बनता है ..

He that cannot reason is a fool.
He that will not is a bigot.
He that dare not is a slave.

When you have to measure the worth of a person,
measure the tape around his heart not around his mind..

A famous soldier came to the master Hakuin and asked:
"Master, tell me: is there really a heaven and a hell?"

"Who are you?" asked Hakuin.

"I am a soldier of the great Emperor's personal guard."

"Nonsense!" said Hakuin.
"What kind of emperor would have you around him?
To me you look like a beggar!"
At this, the soldier started to rattle his big sword in anger.
"Oho!" said Hakuin.
"So you have a sword!
I'll wager it's much too dull to cut my head off!"

At this the soldier could not hold himself back.
He drew his sword and threatened the master, who said:
"Now you know half the answer! You are opening the gates of hell!"

The soldier drew back, sheathed his sword, and bowed.
"Now you know the other half," said the master.
"You have opened the gates of heaven ."

किसी को तब तक नहीं बोलना चाहिए
जब तक उसे ऐसे करने के लिए कहा न जाय
उसे दूसरों की बातचीत में व्यवधान नहीं डालना चाहिए ..

Sekiso, a famous Zen teacher, asked:
"A man sits on top of a hundred-foot pole.
How can he go farther up?"

A master answered:
"He should reach for enlightenment.
Then he can stand up into all four corners of the sky at once."
