Tao on Choice

Results arise when you desire; consequence is part of the inner law of existence. That inner law is Tao. Consequence has nothing to do with you or your waiting. It happens on its own accord. Desire comes from the mind... How to drop desire. drop the mind? - The mind lives though choice. If you dont choose the mind drops...

Life comes as it comes - it floats. Dont make an effort to reach anywhere. Dont move towards a goal; enjoy the moment in its totality and dont be bothered by the future or the past. This is what Lao Tzu calls wu wei- the sage manages affairs without action - move but remain unmoving inside...

from Oshos talks on Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching"
