Master Oogway: "Your mind is like this water my friend. When it is agitated it becomes difficult to if you allow it to settle, then the answer becomes clear."

[daithiocinnsealach]

"Do your work. Then step back. The only way to serenity." Lao Tsu

[punishedvenomsnake]

I'm a Taoist and it's been one of the best decisions I've made. This philosophical system is very unique and it's given me a very affinity and love for Chinese philosophy and historical figures

[poulomi__hari]

There is a beautiful Indian poem, composed by Saint Kabir,
"Dear mind, slowly does happen everything,
The gardner waters a hundred times
Yet they bloom in spring."

[satnamo]

The highest wisdom lies in letting go because the source of human suffering is clinging onto ephemeral things.

The need to be in control, has just left me miserable, time to let go. Thanks for this one, came just when I needed it🙏

“It’s only after we’ve lost everything, that we’re free to do anything...” “The things you own, end up owning you...” - (I can’t talk about it😉)

"By letting go we create space for the universe to do Its thing. " Thank you

Attachment to the materialism is Detachment from spiritualism.

Yes. Some of the best advice I have received was from a retired minister:

“Don’t just do something, stand there!”

[hasnainabbasdilawar]

Another similar concept I learned was "do-something syndrome." We have an innate fear of just being.

[threethrushes]

This is a key concept, especially in relationships.

If someone wants out, oblige them.

Your life, development, and goals continue with them or without them.

I let go of someone I loved. C'est la vie!

[christopherellis]

Let go, walk away, and do nothing to disturb the flow . 💙💛💔 🧙‍♂️

[natanelarnson]

Taoism really speaks to me, and I recommend reading "The Tao of Pooh", amazing book.

[viragkiss]

At the moment I'm having a teaching from life about letting go. All the time. Everywhere. Thank you for this profound collection of thoughts about it. It helps.

This talk put seemingly disparate concepts together and in right perspective for me! ... Personal Fear ... Not Trusting People ... Feeling The Need To Control ... Seeing the interconnectedness of these has brought Me into focus for MySelf... Thank You Einzelganger! Every video I’ve watched of yours has been deeply impacting! 🙏😊💗

[trentynbotello]

I'll have to watch this again a few times to soak up all the wisdom you so eloquently laid out for us. Favorite video so far :)
