Master Oogway: "Your mind is like this water my friend. When it is agitated it becomes difficult to see.....but if you allow it to settle, then the answer becomes clear."
The best behaviour is similar to that of water, because water benefits all creatures and yet remains unselfish. It occupies the lowest position by itself and for that very reason is credible and unspoiled. The best human behaviour is undemanding to the outside world and desirelessly inside; devoted in action and true in speech; ordering in leading and powerful in action; calm in doing. And only when this behavior strives for nothing, is it perfect. - Tao Te Ching, 8
you don' t know me like that, fukd to you, my mind is not full of water. more to it then muddying the waters. I don't know anything, all I do know is the world isn't a spinning ball. certain

This has been proved to work. Three teenagers standing on a dock. A man is drowning several feet away. The man stops moving and one of the teenagers says "I think he's dead" He did die at about that time.
I concur in that sentiment, Sir. Ive seen it, many cannot 'just be'. I feel like philosophy brings one much closer to the tranquility and peace of just 'being'.
@NotATeenStereotype Best of both worlds aye, yeah thats usually a safe win. I really like the 'say the perfect thing at the most right time' as possible. You can see the words pierce through them and provide an angelic uplift of spirits sometimes but things like quotes and philosophy don't register at all with some people. Honestly its a shame that philosophy is not taught early and throughout school curriculum. As far as i know its not taught at all here in the West except as a selected class late in school. Its literally a spirit fortifying weapon for life and it stimulates deep thought and introspective evaluation. But hey thats not good if you want a nation of automatons right.
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!
Gerhard Symons if it only were that easy. I have to let go of someone I love and who also loves me, but the distance and family situation doesn’t allow us to be together. Now I know that if it were meant to be, the universe would have made it possible and since it doesn’t, it’s not supposed to be. But even though I know that, it’s so hard to accept and let go of her, since I still have feelings for her. Detaching myself is the hardest thing there is.
@@sT3fFO27 Each situation is unique. I wish I could say that the passage of time helps. Four years on, and not a single day has passed without me thinking of her. Maybe it will be like that until I die. Who knows? Still, you get on with life.

It's going to hurt, alot. For a period of time, and then I'll be OK, with the grace of God.
Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door I don't care what they're going to say Let the storm rage on The cold never bothered me anyway
The "doing something instead of waiting" part is pretty much the reason why most of our lovelives are not perfect. Time and time again we try to fix things on the spot instead of just letting the situation resolve itself.
funny thing is I am subscribed to 4 or 5 channels you also subscribed to and you always have something witty to say ... keep it up bro and a happy productive prosperous year .
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! 🙏😊💗
This is great information, I find that when dealing with toxic people, not interacting is the best approach. Toxic people generally are sick inside and lash out at others for their problems. I find that ignoring them then causes them to target someone else, or complain to higher ups, and they unravel their own fabric if you maintain your posture and dont partake in their games
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 is so good! I’m teaching myself that it’s ok to let go! It’s hard and fear tries to hold me back but I’m on a mission to become consciously aware!
The mistake is letting go. Let be and never let go. Most if not all failures are due to people letting go. Insistence and persistence are the keys to success, from friendship to marriage to growing old. Till death I don't part. Never go with the flow. Create one. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.
@@parasamesar1925 This video was made by people who don't understand Chinese. Take the COVID-19 pandemic as an example, did the world let go and laid flat? Yes. Did China let go? No. That is why China has less than 5,000 deaths and is still persistently insisting on zero tolerance. USA has over a million deaths, with one quarter of the population of China. See the difference and why? Lao Tzu said the highest virtue is like water. Have you ever seen water let go and go with the flow of others? No. Water is always focused, insistent, persistent, and create its own flow. That's the virtue of water. Letting be is not letting go. Letting be is allowing all concerns to survive without having to surrender, fail, or be defeated. Have you seen water not letting be? Never. With marriages, if one would let be and not let go, the marriage and the love will survive. Even when the marriage must be broken up, the love would still survive, and there should not be any remorse, guilt, or pain for as long as there is love. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.
@@jwu1950 I don't exactly understand the difference between letting be and letting go. They sound quite similar and yet quite different at the same time. Btw out of context question, are you from China?
The more I hear and listen about this philosophy, the more intriguing it becomes and simultaneously mysterious to grasp, it's beautiful how something can be so simple but so subtle at the same time !
What a privilege it is to listen to you on the very first day of this year. Wish you a very happy new year mate, keep inspiring us with your content. Have a blessed and healthy life.
I found your videos at pivotal moment in my life. I learned Tao during my first year in collage, and nearly 30 years later the philosophy is brining me peace in the most turbulent time in my life.
The video was really great...! The message that you wanted to convey was so clear, coherent and organized. It's the kind which can be and in fact should be watched every morning for maximum impact.
Thanks for the video. It reminds me of Alan Watts. He explained this concept very eloquently. Basically this practice of letting go in Taoism is meant to teach the individual to learn the value of spontaneity. By allowing things to flow naturally. The universe gives birth to precious moments of unfiltered truth. Raw spontaneous natural manifestation.
"wu wei" translates directly to "not do," so I think it's better to refer to it as "wei wu wei," or "do not do" -- because this gets more to the heart of Lao Tzu's mysterious yet profound langauge. The full phrase appears three times in the original Tao Te Ching, and Ursula Le Guin speaks to its importance in a footnote of her English rendition of the book: "Over and over Lao Tzu says wei wu wei: Do not do. Doing not-doing. To act without acting. Action by inaction. You do nothing yet it gets done... It’s not a statement susceptible to logical interpretation, or even to a syntactical translation into English; but it’s a concept that transforms thought radically, that changes minds. The whole book is both an explanation and a demonstration of it."
Balance and moderation in all things. Prepare the best you can, work as hard as you can, and then let go... the outcomes are, in the end, out of our hands. Only the preparation is within our control.
One of my favorite youtube places lately. I learn something new and I am also being reminded about some wise things, that for some reason I forget to practice every day. Thank you and keep up with the good work in 2020.
I watched this video with my full cognitive awareness and it's not that long either. Yet, I know that I must re-watch it multiple times because this video contains so much profound & elemental knowledge. That even if I experience deep resonance while watching, to grasp the extend of information contained, was not possible to me. Thank you, because that experience is something I sincere uphold. Be well & Fortune favor you!
Your videos are helping me a lot on daily basis although i practice these techniques for a long time unknowhngly. Your vids male relax during these days of family problems. Thanks a lot from bottem of my heart.
Absolutely no turning back as my experience, lying for the whole relation, a long forgiving in relationship fiinally i decided to end last year the abuse one let them learn ro realized just respect what desreved to them after all
Right on! Love your channel and the positivity you put out into the universe. Gonna make 2020 the year I'm completely woke , with your help I feel like failure isn't even on my radar. Thanks brother, have a great and prosperous new year!!
I read once that lack of doing or say anything can appear lazy or down to weakness...but instead this is down to the individual s strength of character rather than the weakness
StingerBλte Absolutely! I just went through this morning and clicked Not Interested for multiple Eek Awful The World is Negative and Scary videos that had started popping up in my feed for reasons known only to TH-cam. Ugh!! I took a two week break from Facebook - three years ago. Life was so much more peaceful without it that I just never went back. Aahhhh, letting go!! 🥰
Happy new year! This video is great and I truly agree with the Taoist way of Letting Go. To me, letting go means to Surrender to the Universe. It means to let go of force and just Trust. It means to let go of control, manipulation, neediness and clinginess. So instead of struggling my way upstream, I let go and allow for the effortless way downstream to lead me. This is the Highest Path. On here, what is meant for me will come to me effortlessly and what is meant for me will always be of better quality than what is not meant for me. This way, things fall into place, opportunities present themselves, tension dissolves, the heart opens up, love flows and synchronicities start to happen and guide me through this path. I believe this is what it means to be in flow. It is to be aligned with the Universe.
Wow... I can't describe how good what you said in this video made me feel. This is so different from personal growth gourous who tell you to take action, to treat yourself with imperatives to reach goals that you invented for yourself... You are saying that no great effort is needed to be fulfilled and live a pleasant life, and this is so releaving. Thank you very much !
2:29... One who seeks the Tao.. Non Action.. 4:09... Letting it erode naturally... The Master does not seek fulfillment.. 5:28.... The best leaders are the ones that are not overly controlling.. 6:25.... The dance dances itself!
"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." - Neil McCauley
I want to say thank you for this video. For a long while I’ve had crazy anxiety due to trying to control, I’ve been trying to find the answer and this was it. Letting go, to be super in flow with life. The answer has been so simple all along. Thank you for providing information of helping me remember my true being. Thank you.
Thank you. The part about others talking behind your back is happening in my life as we speak. I keep focus on completing the overall objective and not speaking badly of anyone.
I wish to thank you for all of your videos. Thanks to you,I have embraced stoicism and it is true...Stoicism really helps in everyday life. I wish you a very happy new year and best wishes!
Happy New Year! Thank you for this video. Your words of wisdom helped me a lot when I discovered you in 2019. I wish you deeper wisdom and strength to continue to help others and joy in what you do.
The towers way of letting go is going the way of the flow like water down a hill simple as that. It also means being true to your nature. If you’re in tolerant and patient like I am then be so and stick to it.
Sometimes its not the fear that the world will fall apart without you that makes you a control freak, but fear that your world will forget you without you there that holds our unwilling lust for permanence.
Lovely. This year I ran into the saying, 'a victory in Iraq', meaning 'making a bigger mess of things through winning a conflict'. Many marriages end with a 'victory' of one partner. Letting go, can spare many arguments. So this is also practical advice.
KootFloris, you are exactly right about Iraq. Look what’s happening now. Our “government” broke it, now they own the mess they created. Unfortunately, the have the blood of thousands of people on their hands, and have wasted hundreds of millions of dollars.
@@jebediahwolf1205 Indeed. Thanks. Sadly, the oil companies are so much richer because of it (thanks to US tax dollars funding the war) that they want more. Iran? Venezuela? etc?
Sadghuru says something like, listen 2x more and talk 1/2 as much and all your interactions will remarkably improve. When I tried this, I found myself naturally more mindful and the other person seemed to talk forever. It works well for intimate relationships ;-) This will test your patience as you want to enter the conversation but eventually you learn to relax and disappear into the background in a grounded, supportive manner.
It's always been a balance. When one goes extreme into literally non doing, it will lead to mediocrity and a sense of non existence wherein one feels dull and unfulfilled. What are we here for in this physical existence? We are here to fully expressed the manifestation of our Being. Everything within and without moves in rythym. Passivity is the time when one engages in self reflection and contemplation. Then action is the next cycle to experience and apply what is learned and observed. There is graceful integration of both action and non action.
The root cause of all people's troubles is self-absorption, and the first thing to eliminate them is charity. Giving is the root cause of poverty change and the driving force to get out of difficulties. Faith is the source of the Tao and the mother of virtue, and fosters all good roots.

Yes. Some of the best advice I have received was from a retired minister:
“Don’t just do something, stand there!”
This has been proved to work. Three teenagers standing on a dock. A man is drowning several feet away. The man stops moving and one of the teenagers says "I think he's dead" He did die at about that time.
How does just standing there help with anything? I'm failing to understand.

Basically this practice of letting go in Taoism is meant to teach the individual to learn the value of spontaneity. By allowing things to flow naturally. The universe gives birth to precious moments of unfiltered truth. Raw spontaneous natural manifestation.
Freaks is the right Word ...
it Takes a long time until these persons come to realise how they are wasting so much time...

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
The depressed need to rediscover love
Depression is merely anger turned inwards.
@@keiranleonard1301
the depressed need TO BE more than anything else.
@@nt6351 yah, when you suppress your anger too much, even anger gets angry at you. Your own self despises you for being so unfair to yourself.
Depression is resistance.
It's lack of acceptance....
been working on letting go w/ my ex for months now .. painful to think of her so I hope this practice helps
I listen to Let it Be by The Beatles. It actually helps.
Happy new year to the guide! Thank you for your videos, they Indeed made me a better person.
"wu wei" translates directly to "not do," so I think it's better to refer to it as "wei wu wei," or "do not do" -- because this gets more to the heart of Lao Tzu's mysterious yet profound langauge. The full phrase appears three times in the original Tao Te Ching, and Ursula Le Guin speaks to its importance in a footnote of her English rendition of the book: "Over and over Lao Tzu says wei wu wei: Do not do. Doing not-doing. To act without acting. Action by inaction. You do nothing yet it gets done... It’s not a statement susceptible to logical interpretation, or even to a syntactical translation into English; but it’s a concept that transforms thought radically, that changes minds. The whole book is both an explanation and a demonstration of it."
Balance and moderation in all things. Prepare the best you can, work as hard as you can, and then let go... the outcomes are, in the end, out of our hands. Only the preparation is within our control.
One of my favorite youtube places lately. I learn something new and I am also being reminded about some wise things, that for some reason I forget to practice every day. Thank you and keep up with the good work in 2020.
Thank you, Boris. We all experience that, including myself. It's life, you know. Best wishes!
I watched this video with my full cognitive awareness and it's not that long either.
Yet, I know that I must re-watch it multiple times because this video contains so much profound & elemental knowledge.
That even if I experience deep resonance while watching, to grasp the extend of information contained, was not possible to me.
Thank you, because that experience is something I sincere uphold.
Be well & Fortune favor you!
Wow, thank you flower tower :). I'm just the messenger... you might want to read the sources (Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi) if you like this.
Your videos are helping me a lot on daily basis although i practice these techniques for a long time unknowhngly. Your vids male relax during these days of family problems. Thanks a lot from bottem of my heart.
I was watching another video when this popped up and immediately clicked. Love everything you put out man! Thank you for all the good you do :)
Thank you, Berry!
Absolutely no turning back as my experience, lying for the whole relation, a long forgiving in relationship fiinally i decided to end last year the abuse one let them learn ro realized just respect what desreved to them after all
Right on! Love your channel and the positivity you put out into the universe. Gonna make 2020 the year I'm completely woke , with your help I feel like failure isn't even on my radar. Thanks brother, have a great and prosperous new year!!
Thank you so much, Don. Best wishes to you!!
Happy New Year, man. Also, thanks for this video, it gave me the right motivation to let go and relax.
I felt this tranquility gazing into the lake water in the mighty snowy forest.
I read once that lack of doing or say anything can appear lazy or down to weakness...but instead this is down to the individual s strength of character rather than the weakness
This is like the easiest but the most difficult to do. ❤️
One of the best videos I've seen on this subject, wow=words of wisdom
Thank you, A M!
Letting the mold in my bathroom go was the wrong move.
Lol

Been then there done that, plus it really pisses off the landlord!

One of the keys to a happier life might be letting go of social media, and ... TH-cam. 😉
StingerBλte Absolutely! I just went through this morning and clicked Not Interested for multiple Eek Awful The World is Negative and Scary videos that had started popping up in my feed for reasons known only to TH-cam. Ugh!!
I took a two week break from Facebook - three years ago. Life was so much more peaceful without it that I just never went back. Aahhhh, letting go!! 🥰
Happy new year! This video is great and I truly agree with the Taoist way of Letting Go. To me, letting go means to Surrender to the Universe. It means to let go of force and just Trust. It means to let go of control, manipulation, neediness and clinginess. So instead of struggling my way upstream, I let go and allow for the effortless way downstream to lead me. This is the Highest Path. On here, what is meant for me will come to me effortlessly and what is meant for me will always be of better quality than what is not meant for me. This way, things fall into place, opportunities present themselves, tension dissolves, the heart opens up, love flows and synchronicities start to happen and guide me through this path. I believe this is what it means to be in flow. It is to be aligned with the Universe.
Thank you, Lady Donna! Best wishes to you!
Wow... I can't describe how good what you said in this video made me feel. This is so different from personal growth gourous who tell you to take action, to treat yourself with imperatives to reach goals that you invented for yourself... You are saying that no great effort is needed to be fulfilled and live a pleasant life, and this is so releaving. Thank you very much !
Needed this to heal old wounds. Thank you
Love to see the thoughtful comments in these crazy times love and power to all those holding peace in their hearts and spreading it
As you said, I have found that trust is very important.
Very interesting for someone like me who is very deep into studying and feeling forms of power. Control is part of the power.
There is power in self control not control over others. That's weakness
Abram Little I’m not talking about controlling others at all. That’s not possible in the first place.
@@diurnalreign it is if they give u power
Letting go is so haaaaard! But thank you so much, I really needed to hear that!
This is one my favorite TH-cam channels on a very short list. Thank you💙😁🍻
That's great to hear, Surfside. Thank you!
You are really making world a richer place with these excellent videos. A self realization at its prime on your side. :)
If this type of video was on the trending page I think society would be a lot better.
Thank you Leon..! It has gotten quite some views so far 👍
Fantastic! On vacation and struggling badly. Greatly needed this reminder. THANK YOU

I want to say thank you for this video. For a long while I’ve had crazy anxiety due to trying to control, I’ve been trying to find the answer and this was it. Letting go, to be super in flow with life. The answer has been so simple all along. Thank you for providing information of helping me remember my true being. Thank you.
Caffeine caused me crazy anxiety - I gave it up and my anxiety disappeared.
Internet is an amazing place to learn solutions of your problems
This is right on time at this time for me 😊
Thank you. The part about others talking behind your back is happening in my life as we speak. I keep focus on completing the overall objective and not speaking badly of anyone.
Very well explained and the only way to live.
Really well done! Thank you for making things more understandable! This really helped me out today!
I wish to thank you for all of your videos. Thanks to you,I have embraced stoicism and it is true...Stoicism really helps in everyday life. I wish you a very happy new year and best wishes!
Thanks a lot, Magnus! Best wishes to you as well!
Happy new year and thank you for your search of wisdom and revelation to us using your videos. Helps me a lot brother...keep it going this 2020 🔥
This is so strange, I've been preaching the exact same thing for nearly two decades, and now I find out its a thing in taoism? So rad
Your channel helps me every day night by night by learning new things and become best version of your self!!
Trust in life and nature, not in people. People will inherently let you down, but life will always take it's course.
Thanks for the video! This is the best gift for my heart and mind.
Thank you, Helen! Best wishes to you!

Happy New Year! Thank you for this video. Your words of wisdom helped me a lot when I discovered you in 2019. I wish you deeper wisdom and strength to continue to help others and joy in what you do.
The towers way of letting go is going the way of the flow like water down a hill simple as that. It also means being true to your nature. If you’re in tolerant and patient like I am then be so and stick to it.
Happy New Year bro!! 🍾🎉 This channel has been helping me alot in 2019
Honestly your vidoes are incredible! Thank you for taking the time to make these! 🙏🏼
Sometimes its not the fear that the world will fall apart without you that makes you a control freak, but fear that your world will forget you without you there that holds our unwilling lust for permanence.
Lovely. This year I ran into the saying, 'a victory in Iraq', meaning 'making a bigger mess of things through winning a conflict'. Many marriages end with a 'victory' of one partner. Letting go, can spare many arguments. So this is also practical advice.
KootFloris, you are exactly right about Iraq. Look what’s happening now. Our “government” broke it, now they own the mess they created. Unfortunately, the have the blood of thousands of people on their hands, and have wasted hundreds of millions of dollars.
@@jebediahwolf1205 Indeed. Thanks. Sadly, the oil companies are so much richer because of it (thanks to US tax dollars funding the war) that they want more. Iran? Venezuela? etc?
If you consistently let go about things that bother you in a marriage you're going to have a very dissatisfying marriage
@@GuyMichaely If you always fight it will too. Where to speak up and where to let go then is an art in itself. :)
Sadghuru says something like, listen 2x more and talk 1/2 as much and all your interactions will remarkably improve. When I tried this, I found myself naturally more mindful and the other person seemed to talk forever. It works well for intimate relationships ;-) This will test your patience as you want to enter the conversation but eventually you learn to relax and disappear into the background in a grounded, supportive manner.
This are brilliant, very helpful teachings. Thanks.
Thank you. I'm just the messenger, though. You might want to check the sources (Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi) for more ;)
It's always been a balance. When one goes extreme into literally non doing, it will lead to mediocrity and a sense of non existence wherein one feels dull and unfulfilled. What are we here for in this physical existence? We are here to fully expressed the manifestation of our Being. Everything within and without moves in rythym. Passivity is the time when one engages in self reflection and contemplation. Then action is the next cycle to experience and apply what is learned and observed. There is graceful integration of both action and non action.
The root cause of all people's troubles is self-absorption, and the first thing to eliminate them is charity.
Giving is the root cause of poverty change and the driving force to get out of difficulties.
Faith is the source of the Tao and the mother of virtue, and fosters all good roots.
Great video!! Happy New Year 2020! Working on letting go all the time! Thanks for sharing your great wisdom once again, much appreciated!
This is really helpful. I found it 30mins after a break up and going to try practice it. Thank you so much.
"Don't try to control everything and just let go"
It’s also about cutting losses and regrouping to do better and be better. So self control, changing and adapting.
