He may bring his nature to a condition of one; he may nourish his strength; he may harmonize his virtue, and so put himself into partnership with God.

According to Chuang Tzu, the perfect sage no longer comes into conflict with anyone, for he stands at the starting point of all things, where oppositions do not yet exist; by gathering his strength, he unites with the Principle, the source of all life. Today, before a delicate conversation, take a moment to gather your calm and return to this peaceful point within you.
